VIDEO: Sea King tailrotor failure during landing on a ship

I've got a 9.91MB mpeg of a CH-46 (604 is painted on the side) landing on
the fantail of a ship before tipping over into the water. It looks like
the aircraft missed its initial touchdown point before trying to lift off
again for another try. The left rear wheel gets snagged and that pulls the
whole aircraft over and into the water.

I've no info on casualties nor the ship involved.

Anyone know the exact details of the incident I just poorly described? I
don't have a place to host the video but I can email it if you're
interested
