The web appeared footage of the crash of a Sikorsky UH-60M Black Hawk helicopter of Mexican naval aviation that crashed last Saturday, March 21, in the state of Veracruz.

The record shows that the aircraft tried to land. According to one of the preliminary versions, at this moment the crew lost spatial orientation due to the fact that the rising dust sharply worsened visibility.

According to local media , ten people were on board the helicopter. Nine of them received injuries of varying severity, another - a police officer - died.
