that bloody man looks younger and skinnier than Bipin

He was, but the person in the video is Group Capt. Varun Singh who is in critical condition at the moment. You can identify from the nose.

Looks like they need to improve their driving on top of their piloting…

Good that this Mr. Swami has, very timely, fried his very apt "luch".

China and Pakistan must mourn the demise of one of their greatest asset in India. This is an incalculable loss, unless he is replaced by an equally "capable" person.

On 3 January 2018: A Mil Mi-17 helicopter of Bangladesh Air Force crashed in Sreemangal whilst carrying Kuwaiti delegates. The Kuwaiti delegates have been identified as Kuwait Armed Forces Chief of Staff Lt Gen Mohammad Al-Khuder and Kuwait Naval Forces Commander Maj Gen Khalid Mahmud Abdullah.Everyone were rescued alive.[189][190][191]

We narrowly survived major embarrassment there:

Mi-171 helicopter of Bangladesh Army crashed with Kuwait’ chief of general staff on board – Defence Blog

On that occasion it was pilot error due to poor visibility - they missed the helipad and landed between trees.

Everyone walked away from the crash. You can see in the photo that Kuwaiti officers regrouping right next to the crashed helicopter.

The MI-17's are generally quite reliable. The crash numbers are negligible if you consider the amount of MI-17s that have entered service.

Seems like pilot error.
Look at the video. Nothing wrong with the helicopter.
Then hear the sound when it just hits the side of the hill.

Visibility…

Aircraft can fly in wet weather, but it’s dangerous to fly if you can’t see.

A very common cause for helicopter crashes worldwide. I wonder why pilots do not simply abort the flight and turn back in poor visibility? Can someone explain?

As you live, so will you die....

Looks like an internal ops....

The Pak establishment let him be off the hook on 02-27, but not the Indian establishment....

Mr Bipin was a loyal servant of the Pakistani establishment. Indian establishment finally got to him.

poor Planning by IAF, here, not knowing or bothering to check local weather reports.

Valley fog is confined by local topography and can last for several days in calm conditions during the winter.

Granted it was poor planning but my question is even more fundamental:
why not abort when you can see the fog with your own eyes?
