AA F/O Juan Browne has a video on the crash. Best guess is a CFIT incident. Possible target fixation trying to line up their drop.
Luckily the terrain was fairly forgiving.

No, they didn't. They were taken to a hospital. They survived.
But, thank God juan is on the case. No need for an investigation, now.

Juan strikes a decent balance IMO, as does that Swedish guy Peter. I'll watch them because it's easier than googling all the stuff to get some insight into what may have happened.
The other 90% of aviation 'tubers are painful to watch.

CFIt would be much more understandable, and is an obvious occupational hazard, when fire-fighting. As opposed to just not knowing where you are in relation to a mountain at night.
