Years back there was a video of a CH-46 approaching a vessel, too fast. He caught one of the rear wheels in some deck rigging and crashed. It was amateur video, don't know the fate of the crew.

We Army pilots used to kid our brethren Navy helo pilots about how bad they were.
Too fast is seldom good for a spot landing, but at least this guy was emergency. Glad everybody survived. I can imagine the chaos inside.

According to statements made by survivors it was chaos on board after. Improperly secured cargo fell on Marines, making it difficult to get free, fuel mixed with sea water causing Marines to vomit and get disoriented while trying to escape.
