Low level helicopter trip in Rio de Janeiro, 1967

Was all that low flying under the bridge legal?!?!

Poh! Nao acredito...
O tal do Mr. Burn, ta maluco ou e muito distraido! Eu ouvi direito? Ele disse que o Rio nao mudou em 40 anos?
Nao mudou nao... Naquele morro perto do tunel, construiram o Condominio "Morada do Sol", em frente o shopping pequenininho e a torre do Rio Sul e alargaram as duas pistas, fizeram uma obrinha pequena, o tal do Metro, o Shopping OutLet, o Teatro no Leme perto do tunel, uma consessionaria enorme,que eu esqueci o nome, tambem no leme o calcadao central cheio de instalacoes ludicas, a ciclovia. E mais uma serie de outras construcoes.

Sera que este cidadao nao sabe que ali existe uma grande concentracao de predios historicos e portanto, tombados.

Este e o mal de quem estuda pouco, fala muito e de orelhada.

E a mesma coisa que dizer que eu fiquei muito triste porque estive duas vezes em NY e em ambas o Empire State Bldng estava no mesmo lugar. Ou que fiquei chateado porque nao trocaram a 5th Avenue para o lugar da Broadway. Falando nisso, eu acho que o Hotel The Plaza, perto do Central Park poderia ser derrubado para construirem um predio novo no lugar.
Falando em Central Park, nao entendo porque nao transformam numa horta comunitaria. Seria bom para os tempos de crise e certamente mudaria a paisagem.
Ia ficar diferente e os brasileiros nao ficariam tristes quando fossem la.

Tenha santa paciencia o Burn!!!

Nao ha duvida de que o Rio mudou muito: para pior...

Não há dúvida de que o Rio mudou muito: para pior...

Que maravilloso recuerdo acabe de acistir, VOTEC fue una grande empresa dirijida por grandes hombres, uno de ellos mi suegro que dios lo tenga y dio la oportunidad de poder ver estas lindas e maravillosas vista de RIO DE JANEIRO ciudad inigualable.
GRACIAS para quem tuvo la idea de mostrar esta reliquia

Incríveis são também os comentários sobre esse vídeo. Como que alguns não percebem que o motivo pelo qual essa parte da cidade pouco mudou nesses últimos 40 anos, foi porque o desenvolvimento foi direcionado para outras partes e esse filé mignon foi preservado para que essa paisagem cultural ficasse preservada para sempre!
O Rio merece ou não merece o título de Patrimônio Mundial da UNESCO, pela sua extraordinária paisagem cultural, que é fruto da obra do homem e da natureza em perfeita conjunção? Estamos trabalhando para ter esse reconhecimento.

Sensacional: inumeras imagens que eu tinha apenas na memória vieram a tona com o vídeo. Assisti ao Roberto Carlos em rítmo de aventura no Rian, e lembro-me bem do take da passagem pelo tunel novo. A praia de Copacabana, onde até hoje mora minha mãe, ainda sem o aterro e aquele 'line up' de ondas perfeitas e águas rasas...um show. Não havia a Morada do sol, neca de Rio Sul, e os out-doors da Philips, e da Coca Cola, na curva da General Severiano Ribeiro erammarcantes. O Monroe. Pena que importantes pontos não aparecem no fime. Valeu assim mesmo.

How sad to read this. You really have no idea what you are talking about, do you?? In 40y population from Rio de Janeiro has grown more than 4 times. (Do you know what multipliyng 4 times mean?? I guess not...)
Also the streets have multiplied (as any city from china, usa, or any country) and buildings had grown and multiplied. Just for curiosity and before saiyng bulls*** about anything, please google it prior than writing this nonsense.

Now, about the video: it is a great video ! Streets had been closed for this shooting 40yago.

this video is part of the film "Roberto Carlos em ritmo de aventura" directed by ROBERTO FARIAS - rf.farias@uol.com.br. The director act as a stuntman for the singer, durig the flight, when the helicopter came out from the tunnel. Tosee the whole film contact the director. Roberto Farias

Muito bom o vídeo, para quem conhece os locais, realmente relembra muita coisa. Nota 10.

Hello!
How Nice!It was great to see two special things together:Roberto Carlos, my favourite Brazilian singer, and
Rio de Janeiro,the most beautiful place in Brazil.
I've been to Rio once in 2004, on business. So I can't see the
difference.
Congratulations! The video is amazing.
Thank You!

Foi emocionante rever um Rio que naum existe mais! Principalmente o maravilhoso Palacio Monroe com seus famosos leoes (pena que naum sao vistos) que ficaram na memoria afetiva de todos!

Right.. The tunnel..... I saw people do that in BF2.. But that's a game....... Nice video!

A tunnel with a bridge in front of them

I appreciate his piloting skills. He flew in the tunnel! BTW, I loved the first music.

Get a life, jasonbrus... such a beautiful and historic video and you groaning and moaning.

I actually feel very sad when I saw this video. This video is supposedly shot 40 yrs ago. If you look compare the view of Rio NOW vs. 40 yrs ago, there is virtually no big change. If you visit any major U.S. cities or even 3rd world countries like China (e.g. City of Shanghai), the city skyline is dramatically different 20 yrs ago vs NOW, let alone 40 yrs. the conclusion is, Rio, if not Brazil in general, has made little or no progress in the last 40 yrs. This is very disappointing.

Guy.. it´s amazing part of my young understanding about life. Some people said to me the pilot is he famous pilot Malaguti.... who I assited saving many people at Andorinha building fire in 1985, in Rio... This film is part of my life... I never forget this image of an helicopter fligh inside a tunnel... PERFECT !!!!!!!!!!

Hi all, hi Zenaidinha! Long time no see :) I remember as a little kid being taken to the set of this movie and having a ball. Fancy bumping up against this video.

Hello!A friend has sent me this video without knowning my father was the "camera's pilot".As the cinematographer he was in charge to make the filming.By 1967 the computers were called "eletronic brain" and were not able to make things like matrix so real life was real.

Thanx for having added this comment and congratulations to your father, RSoares!

Hello to all. This IS a movie. It was done in 1967. And the pilot was my father. The helicopter is a Hugues 300. It´s impossible to compare or imagine anything like that today. Besides that movie he was the one to start using helicopters on all kind of services - from rescue, police, transportation and so on. Just to put on the record - his name was Raimundo de Paula Soares.

Ok Guys, This was a movie made 1967,so dont worry because they were not risking someone else lifes. They had a permit to do it.The Guy in the chopper is Roberto Carlos and the songs you´ve heard were sung by him.I live in Rio and I was born in the same year they made this fantastic footage.Nowaday its historical, many thinghs had change and is quite nice too see our city in the past times!
Thanks a lot to "Roberto Carlos em rítmo de aventura" (This is the movie name.
Cheers guys!

My beautiful Rio de Janeiro!!!!, 40 years ago!... what they have done to you since then? What a life we had!! This video is a fantastic trip to the past, with our popular singer Roberto Carlos (pity if you dont't understand the words - in Portuguese and Italian). And what a fly through the tunnel! Something impossible to do nowadays. At that time no one would think in terrorism, crazy lunatics, narcotrafic, ... it was just fun! At least for me, 12 years-old...

In the 60s everything was legal...my old dad owns his pilot licence since 1957! He flew in the early 60s from germany to sweden in his bücker 181 just having a compass and a road map on. no VOR or ADF. :-) those were the days my friend... the good old times! :-)

Legal? Permission?

What a way to get to work that would be!

For me, this is one the most fun videos I've seen in here. Great footage with great music. Well done.
