Good, professional description of what transpired at link.
Repost 2017.
The only information I can find about this picture is that it was from the 282nd Assault Helicopter Company PS: Just found the unit's site and the picture but no more information unfortunately. There are ARVN in the pictures so the subjects might have been them or US. 282nd Assault Helicopter Company

Comment below.

Arterial spray from a high speed projectile hitting someone on the skid. You can see the outline of the door gunner and the passenger in the blood. There is also blood UNDER the seat indicating it (the blood spray) came from out side. The blood stripes on the post and seat back are from severed Arteries. Bullet holes in the coke cans and ammo box indicate an AK type weapon. Blood spray shows very high retained bullet velocity. Poor guy probably never knew he was hit. With that kind of blood loss he would have died at once or gone into hypovolemic shock within moments even If the round hadn't taken his head off. (like a .50 would have.) Sad day for that boys mother. I hope they brought him home. --Ray
