Nope, I've seen the video and report on the incident.
@BlackDragon98 is celebrating the deaths of two civie pilots.
The chopper is part of a civie firefighting outfit out of Anchorage, not even US military.

Gold is worse in every possible way than copper when it comes to wiring.
Silver is miles better than gold, it's the most conductive metal(with copper being the second most) but it has problems in both rarity and density(copper is 8.933 g/cm3 where silver is 10.501 g/cm3) which makes it a bad idea to stretch wires over the skyline with. And even then it's not that much better when it comes to conductivity(16.78 nΩ⋅m@20°C for copper and 15.87 nΩ⋅m at the same temp for silver, lower is better) in contrast to gold which is... much worse than both of them(22.14 nΩ⋅m, making it only slightly better than aluminum at 26.5 nΩ⋅m).
Gold is useless when it comes to electrical work beyond corrosion resistant contacts.
Also fun fact: in spite of higher conductivity and lower resistance, Silver is not used in CPU and GPU manufacture because other quantum properties makes it unusable in those areas.

Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
So what got you started on that? This thing on the US military?
You mean would rather go to Russia than to prison

Are you seriously celebrating the death of the Pilot and Co-Pilot? For what reason would you do this!? You'd have to be an absolute shit human being to do that!

You're talking about the same POS that was laughing and mocking about Ukrainians getting slaughtered by the Russians, including women and children, saying they all deserved it because they were "Ukro-Nazis." And wanted to see photos of the corpses as well so he could fap off to them.

Calling shots, yeah right. From what I hear from the guys in army, anyone below the rank of major is not considered an adult human, with lieutenants and captains being micromanaged into oblivion. Army has given up on leadership decades ago (although they still pay lip service to it) and replaced it with managerialism.
Only if you are masterclass at brown nosing, ass kissing and butt-cheeks spreading or have some really good victimhood cards.

Company a captain does a lot, and in atoons LTs do a lot.
Once you go to Battalion it becomes LTC.
Majors have like no power, and are often XOs.
Captains are kinda the last position for true line command in the Army. Anyone tells you that a Captain is micromanaged is blatantly wrong.
As for LTs, they are managed by their NCOs though they do get their orders from their Captain. IF the LT shows they don't want to learn from their NCOs, they get made the XO more often than not. This is done in the hopes that the good habits of the company commander will rub off on the LT in question.
With 1st LTs it's less common they need their nose wiped, and more that they have to be restrained from excessive bouts of 'I know what to do!'.
Captains have a great deal of responsibility for their commands as well as the freedom to really screw the pooch.

This happens to every officer. It's the part where they learn how to do the staff work. Unfortunately, it's also where they learn the politicking that goes with every higher position in a large organization.
Generally true for the butter bars (2nd LTs) as they have no real-world experience, just classroom learning and bare field training to this point, unless they were prior enlisted (which can bring other problems).

Massive smoke nearby + something getting dipped in the water probably means firefighters.
I thought those silly 2 rotor transport helicopters were no longer in use, smells like the U.S. military throwing away dangerous equipment by selling it to the various state National Guard units again.
Also, for all those dogpiling on @BlackDragon98, do I need to remind you how some of you gloat over stuff like sanctions, the deaths of Russian generals and servicemen and the like?
Those that live in glass houses probably should not throw stones.
Chinooks (those silly 2 rotor transport helicopters) have been in service all the way through the wars in the Middle East.
Kept in maintenance properly, they still continue to do work. I believe they still hold the tag of 'fastest helicopter in the US arsenal'.

It is a huge transport helicopter, so I doubt it.
Also, if memory serves they were around since the Vietnam war, which makes them a 60s project, that makes it pretty dated.
