Stumbled across this video. Not sure if it's been posted before. Looks like a Marine H-53E but cannot be sure.

That's a career ending mistake, unless there was some kind of mechanical malfunction.

Isn't that an MH-53J Pave Low? The CH-53E has 3 engines and a 7-blade main rotor.

Yeah looks like it doesn't have the third engine. No refueling probe though so still unsure. Well duh there is a refueling boom.

I didn't know you could do that in a 53. I would call an aircraft that lets the tail rotor touch the ground before any other part of the aircraft a flawed design.

There is no such thing as an idiot proof aircraft. "It ain't Stymie proof." 
I'm impressed he put it down in less than a fireball after the strike. |

Idiot pilot attempted a 'quick stop' at below minimum altitude and had controlled crash into ground.
This is how you are supposed to do it.  mh-53e quick stop |
