This Helicopter got to close to the Aft Talos Missile Launcher

I happened to be on the starboard "wing" of the Main Bridge watching this Helo as it came in to land on the fantail. When the rotor blades
hit the missile launcher, I could hear some of the pieces from the blades flying by and I saw some hit the water out in front of the ship!
