wow what causes that?

Something out of balance?

And that's why balancing and rotating your tires is important.

Loose bolt I think.  I tried to search for something and asked my BIL who works in the aviation accident business, but all he could find was a description about a bolt being loose or shearing causing the centrifugal forces to to start tearing it up.  Not sure if this is accurate though.

Some details of where and when here:

It was that extra screw after assembly they had and didn't know where it went.

It's called ground resonance.
Bad juju.

Somebody walked by and stuck a wad of chewing gum onto the end of one rotor before the pilot fired it up.

ETA>>> Damn.... beat by a postage stamp.

Ground resonance.  It will tear the shit out of a copter.  From what I have been told the only way to stop it is to power back into the air.

The helicopter on MacGuyvers show intro actually goes into a resonance fit and the door flies open.

Yup. Seen it several times. A bad case can violently destroy a heli. That was a relatively mild example.
