only a few weeks after an EC120 on a post maintenance test flight had a remarkably safe landing in a Brazilian street (http://www.pprune.org/rotorheads/521967-sao-paulo-emergency-landing-august-2013-a.html), this JetRanger did not fare so well. Three of the four on board injured plus a passing pedestrian.

ANAC (Brazil's CAA) have already said that the Annual and CofA on this helicopter expired over a year ago according to their records.

Looks like it could have fared better if some inconsiderate council worker hadn't planted a pole in the way, though.
