Rock-throwing illegal immigrants near Yuma, Arizona, forced a U.S. Border Patrol helicopter pilot to make an emergency landing this week, the customs agency said.
That's right folks, some illegals forced down a Border Patrol helicopter. How did they do it? By THROWING ROCKS at it! Seriously!
You know, there's something highly symbolic about a high-tech helicopter being forced down by rock throwing third worlders. Sort of like a metaphor for our future....
If you're stupid enough to hover 50-100 feet off the ground near an angry mob with access to rocks, you're going down. Helicopters are notoriously unforgiving of having the turbine ingest hard crap or of big hunks getting whanged out of the blades.
This is even lower tech than the 12 gauge firing a dowel segment with an ~1/8th inch steel cable attached into the main or tail rotor trick...
