Bloody hell, hope everyone's okay. Hard landing at 2pm, that's a busy time at the airport.

nah mate I was there, it was a hard landing not a crash. rotors still spinning and everything

NZ Herald2026-07-07T03:27:52.000Z

ah ffs another chopper crash? what's the point of this article, just say 'helicopter went crunch, two people owwie'

NZ Herald2026-07-07T03:34:52.000Z

lol get a load of this guy, you telling me a 'hard landing' means it's fine? still ended up on the side of the runway mate

Leo McKenzie2026-07-07T03:56:52.000Z

That'll buff out. Hope the pilots alright though, those choppers are tough as.

Chloe Martin2026-07-07T04:16:52.000Z

sounds like the pilot forgot how to flare lol

I work at the airport, saw the whole thing. Pretty scary tbh, ambulance was there quick though. They're in stable condition.

NZ Herald2026-07-07T04:51:52.000Z

so how many people were actually on this thing? article says two injured, but was there a pilot? or just passengers? classic nzherald leaving out details

Blake Turner2026-07-07T05:03:52.000Z

Good to hear emergency services were on it quick. Always a relief when these things don't end worse.

helicopter maintenance these days is a joke. bet they cut corners on inspections. surprised this doesn't happen more often tbh.

Reese Morgan2026-07-07T06:14:52.000Z

so true, someone probably skipped the logbook entry again. no accountability in this industry.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-07T05:56:52.000Z

hard landing? looks like a crash to me. call a spade a spade ffs

Chloe Martin2026-07-07T06:14:52.000Z
