Kudzu saves lives

Well, some anyway.

McDowell County, North Carolina . According To The Source , A helicopter lost power and crashed while a videographer was shooting images of kudzu, an invasive plant species. The thick vines slowed the chopper's descent and allowed the crew to walk away from the accident without serious injury.
While filming aerials of invasive species in the North Carolina forests the helicopter lost power and crashed into the side of the mountain. Kudzu is one of many invasive species and it was the Kudzu that broke and slowed our decent and allowed us to walk away with only minor scratches. Pilot Chris Dupree did an exceptional job of saving our lives while the aircraft lost power. It was like sinking into water, that is how it felt to me as the power was lost.

No idea where that text comes from. It was in the video description.

I have to say that this is the calmest helicopter crash that I've ever watched the video of from the comfort of my living room. The pilot seems to have done an amazing job of controlling the craft as it lost power in my opinion. Great job folks.
