Default Chopper crash

A Russian helicopter crew turned into a real emergency when the chopper
crashed. The accident happened today at an island between Russia and
Japan when an amphibious helicopter landed in the water and tried to
take off again. The chopper tipped over and its rotors hit the water,
breaking it into pieces. 13 People were on board at the time. One died
and three others were injured. The chopper was participating in an
emergency drill with Japan at the time. Check out the video of this
crash:
