News: Chilean police EC135 helicopter w/o

Post by frank kramer »

When looking at the video at

http://www.telegraaf.nl/buitenland/2339 ... oft__.html

it is clear that this EC135 of the Chilean police is no longer serviceable. According to the accompanying articel, the helo landed in a square to drop off a medic near the scene of an accident. A fire engine then apparently collided with the rotor blades (or tail), causing the helo to start spinning untill it exploded. The two occupants were severly injured. Appears to be c/n 0768/C-26
