That is unreal, very fortunate only minor injuries occurred.

I know there are lots of factors but.......16000+ hour heli pilot hover taxiing into another helicopter!?
Re: 2012 accident of Pasadena PD helicopters
On several occasions when I was unsure of the space available to me on the pad, I landed off in the grass and shut down there. Reports of this event suggest that the helicopter on the "Danger" pad was offset on the pad (perhaps rotor hanging over onto the next pad?), and the landing pilot was just used to where she landed on the second pad. Too common a practice fails to trigger the need for a second thought?
