Can't they just fly it out from under there? C'mon, it's a helicopter.

As mentioned earlier, I think it “was a helicopter” now it’s a “ simulator” lol

I wonder if they can still get their core charge on a new one from Auto Zone ?

Saw another photo from different angle after being removed from underpass and it appears the top part of motor and rotor head have been removed.......... looks like the truck was southbound in the far right lane towards the truck stop fuel station when the top of the helicopter struck the underside of the interstate overpass. ..... Driver probably received a costly traffic ticket that will possibly kill his commercial drivers license job. ....................................... drill sgt.

NOPE.... he will just hook up two more SUVs to the back and haul it to MEXICO with all of his compadres....

It was probably this one : "The Sikorsky/Lockheed Martin VH-92 Patriot[3] is an American helicopter under development to replace the United States Marine Corps' Marine One U.S. presidential transport fleet. It is a militarized variant of the Sikorsky S-92."

This reminds me of how we use to give directions to drivers backing up.

I looked it up and found a helicopter with a matching paint job from Australia. Most likely it was on a shipping skid and shrink wrapped for being in the below deck hold of a cargo ship, as is the case with most aircraft too big to fit inside a sea can. It had probably just been unloaded and on the way to Lafayette.
