ISAF (International Security Assistance Force) officials have indicated that the footage is of an incident that occurred in Paktika province of Afghanistan.
Two AH-64 helicopters were supporting an ISAF patrol gathering airdropped supplies when one of the aircraft crashed into the ground.
No one on the ground was injured and both members of the aircrew survived the accident which happened on February 6. The footage was only posted online 6 weeks later.
The cause of the crash is currently being investigated by the US Army but there were no reports of insurgent activity in the area at the time of the incident, suggesting mechanical failure or pilot error.
