A visitor from Madison, Wis., who shot a dramatic, 11-second video of a helicopter crash at Pearl Harbor on Thursday had flown on a similar helicopter tour across Oahu just two weeks ago.

Even after he witnessed Thursday’s crash of a Bell 206B Jet Ranger helicopter, Shawn Winrich — a 38-year-old construction worker — would have no hesitation about climbing back into a tour helicopter with his wife, Jennifer.

“We probably took off from the same airport, and we flew over Honolulu past Diamond Head and back to the airport,” Shawn Winrich said. “If it’s a machine it’s going to break, like anything. Car crashes happen every day, but people still get in them.”

Winrich, his wife and their two daughters — Justice, 20, and Kaili, 17 — are on a three-week vacation and had just returned from the USS Arizona Memorial on Thursday morning.

They were taking photos of Pearl Harbor when Winrich suddenly heard and saw a helicopter approaching fast from his left.

He quickly switched his Android phone over to video mode and captured images of the helicopter as it slammed into about 10 feet of water, then settled right side down, just yards from dozens of visitors lining the shoreline.

“I could hear it and saw it — both,” Winrich said. “I was looking in that direction.”

Since posting the video on YouTube, Winrich said he’s been getting requests to use it from “everybody — literally everybody wants the video. It’s been nonstop.”

Network morning shows were clamoring to line up live interviews with him.

Justice Winrich was standing right behind her dad snapping photos “when we saw it getting really close,” she said. “The helicopter was shaking. It was real quick.”

She and her father then jumped over a rock wall “to help people get out of the water,” she said.

Three passengers were already making their way to shore, and first responders were already in the water, as well.

Next week the Winrich family plans to return home with lots of stories to tell about their vacation in Hawaii.

Even with Thursday’s crash, which injured all five occupants, Shawn Winrich said, “It’s been wonderful.”
