The Sea Hawk roll over while parked on a boat in a rough sea

What happens in this video ?

The scene happened on a military cruiser. While the crew is trying to pull the Seahawk into the hangar, high winds tip it. The helicopter is finally rolled over on its side.

Wow I remember this when it happened, out of Mayport. Helo wasn't tied down yet in rough weather and the rast didn't hold it. Still bad decisions were made....

It was not chained down because it is being straightened for movement into the hangar.Standard procedure. Probe that is trapped to the deck is supposed to prevent rolling. Can't tell here if this was error in procedure or mechanical failure

First the pilot should have retreated from the flight deck when the helicopter started to loean to one side. Second, Why the hell was this chopper not TIED DOWN? This is a perfect example of your tax dollars en action or inaction.
