plush-cthulhu 4,472 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 http://www.voanews.com/content/south-korea-helicopter-crash-kills-5/1959330.html A firefighting helicopter crashed Thursday in a residential area in the South Korean town of Gwangju, killing all five people on board. Officials say a teenage girl also suffered minor injuries after being hit by a fragment of the helicopter, which crashed near a school. The helicopter was returning to base after taking part in the search for the 11 people still missing from South Korea's April ferry disaster. About 300 people, mostly high school students, were killed when the Sewol ferry sunk off the southwest coast of South Korea. Including the helicopter deaths, seven people have been killed in the rescue operation. Two divers previously drowned while searching the ship. There has been no word on what led to the helicopter crash. Pretty fortunate though that noone else got killed, this could have been a major disaster.

ajewcy 1,217 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 That came down hella fast, like the pilot did it on purpose almost - nose down and all. There has been no word on what led to the helicopter crash. Gravity was a leading factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
