PICS: whaddayamean "bad vibes"? ANG UH60 4dec2014 bad rotor.

...it is probably rather surprising that UH60 landed in one piece in South Carolina at all...

At 6000' they entered an auto and contacted approach to declare an emergency.

Approach told them to squawk but the vibration was so severe that they could not get hands on to the transponder and were being thrown around the cockpit.

That's gotta be about as damaged as 60 blade can get and still fly. It's nice to be good and it's even better to be lucky too.

Wow! Kudos to these guys for making it back to earth alive!
