Helicopter Crashes After Snagging Wire

While assembling a seven story high frame to be used as a Christmas tree, a helicopter's rotor struck a wire causing the aircraft to crash.

Incredibly, the pilot only sustained minor injuries and no one else was injured.

Quote from the the man shooting the video:

Both of my Panasonic P2HD camera's were recording at the same time, even though I go to re-position myself because I didn't like the look of the cable near the rotor, my camera I am carrying is still recording. My other static wide view camera caught me walking across the frame, you can see the guy tug on the cable just as I go past him. After the impact, and seeing that the wreck had not burst in to flames, I'm the guy in the yellow hi-vis, white hat and blue jeans that hops in to the cab to help get the unconscious pilot out along with the guy who originally pulled on the cable.
