Army Lynx crash landing

It probably wasn’t shown outside of Northern Ireland but has anyone seen the video of the Lynx crash landing on the seafront of Portrush in Northern Ireland?.It was an engine fire but wasn’t obvious externally at first but then it spun round VERY spectacularily before the pilot landed it on the beach and him and the co-pilot jumped out and tried to put out and engine fire with extinguishers before giving up and the Fire Brigade had to take over.It was all caught on a video taken with a camcorder and was great quality.The helicopter was then snatched by a Chinook to rescue it before the tide came in, and it was taken to RAF Aldergrove.One of the best sights though was the crew with Heckler and Koch MP5 submachine guns in what can only be described as shoulder holsters attached to their webbing.Having one of those up my armpit looked uncomfortable, suppose its lucky they were the collapsable stock version.
