This is the dramatic footage of a Syrian regime helicopter plummeting to the ground, according to opposition figures.

Free Syrian Army say they shot down the chopper over the besieged town of Daraya, near the capital Damascus.

The footage shows the helicopter ablaze, its tail destroyed, as it drops out of the sky, disappearing behind buildings just before it hits the ground.
