2 light choppers down in Kuala Lumpur

Ampang/Taman Melawait, (north northeast of KLCC)

2 Guimbal Cabri G2s crashed in this area mid-day Sunday. A blue-painted G2 chopper was videoed descending rapidly vertically to an area near a school. A red-painted G2 helo is observed in the same continuous video clip approaching the crash site at mid-altitude, and then circles the area for a short time, completing a reversal of track, and then commences a steep descent towards the ground and impacts as well.

The report is of mid-air if so, quite a time between the impact that takes out one helo, and the loss lof the 2nd helicopter.

Initial reports of 2 fatalities in total.

Its a solid little chopper, with better survivability than many. but planet earth wins tussles like that.
