    Here is a video clip of an Apache helicopter that crashes while filming an episode of the Top Gear Korea tv show.

    Video says the pilot was not seriously hurt from the crash.

    I assume he was just a little too low for the banked turn maneuver he was attempting.
    He had just done a similar low-level turn earlier in the clip.

    Its actually a AH-1 Cobra or something like that, definitely not an Apache.

    Definitely a Cobra or Super-Cobra. No lift for helicopters in 90 degree banks, either, just like airplanes. G's required for level flight at 90 degs of bank, infinite, unless you have a really big rudder, and he did not have one.
