Helicopter down in Italy

Helicopter crash in Italy's Dolomites kills four
A helicopter belonging to a medical emergency service crashed into a mountain near the ski resort of Cortina d'Ampezzo in the north of Italy today killing all four people on board, the fire service at Belluno said.

The spokesman said the helicopter appeared to have hit a cable, adding weather conditions in the area were bad.

Sad day,

Condolences to the families involved

Spoke to a friend at INAER Group and he confirmed it did have a wire strike about 4.30pm in the afternoon.
