Photos: Tristan Kennedy As an all-out assault on the senses, few things compare to seeing a Russian Mi-8 twin turbine helicopter landing up close. Standing in the front row at a Rage Against The Machine concert, perhaps. Or trying to break through reinforced concrete with a jackhammer. Needless to say, neither of those are activities I’d ever want to attempt with a hangover. Which is why, as I watch the enormous, 24-seater flying bus descend into the snow, and feel the full, stinging force of the icy downdraft hitting my face, I find myself starting to regret some of my decisions the night before.
