On Sunday, October 27, a helicopter spun out of control at an airport in the Houston area before crashing down on a parked airplane. 

The helicopter was taking off from Pearland Regional Airport at around 8:35 am when it began to spin, according to Fox News.  

As you see in the below video, the tail breaks off the helicopter as it strikes the parked plane, which stops the spin. The rotor strikes the plane several times before the engine shuts down.

The incident is currently under investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
