This helicopter pilot's got mad skills. Apparently the pilot took the initiative to put the fire out before backup arrived, and managed to accomplish the mission with all that pool water.
It's good that parents are interested in the safety of their children, but holy crap this is some whack-ass behavior. This lady was caught leering like a ghoul through the window of her son's friend's house because she hadn't seen him in a few hours. Reminds us of this hyper-controlling helicopter mom who wanted to track her kid at college.
With all the stuff we've heard of and experienced with helicopter parents in the last few decades, it's refreshing to see someone actually stand up to their mom who's trying to control their social life while not under their roof. Hell, dude, it's college. You don't want to experience college life while your mom watches.

Apparently this can happen when someone is being rescued by helicopter? This 74 year old woman is said to be in stable condition. Seriously, this is terrifying. This is like the kind of crap they make you do in astronaut training.

What's cooler than a helicopter? A helicopter with static blades.
On Twitter, people are sharing video footage of what happens when you sync camera frame rate with the speed of helicopter blades, and you can see why. Watching a helicopter just float into the air is strangely satisfying and very, very cool.
Check out some of the footage below.

A dramatic rescue in Sachse, Texas quickly took a turn for the funny on Friday, when a local cop was brought on a lengthy joyride over a farm.
In the video above from FOX 4 news, the unnamed officer is airlifted by a Department of Public Safety helicopter after his car gets stuck in the rising flood waters.
The news anchors covering the event watch as he attaches himself to the harness and soars off to safety.
But once they’ve reached dry land, they don’t let him down very quickly. Instead he is taken on a 4-minute long flight across some cow-filled pastures while the world watches and the anchors laugh.
“Where are they taking him?” asks one of them, to which the other replies “It’s kind of an odd sight, isn’t it?”
They joke that maybe the extended trip was punishment for ruining a perfectly good police car.
He was eventually lowered to the ground, and will likely rise up to viral video stardom.
“He’s happy to be out and safe,” another cop named Lt. Marty Cassidy told WFAA news. “He knows he’s not going to live this down.”
