Chunlan Corp EC135T1 s/n 0213 crashed at a scenic spot near Ningbo in East China during a filming mission for a local TV station. 7 POB, 1st officer was killed and also 3 pax (journalists). Pilot and 2 pax survived with back injuires.
Investigators are collecting evidence but helico was consumed by post crash fire.
Pilot says he does not remember anything of the final flight. Eye witnesses reported helico was "flying at low level and in hover when tailed moved left and right and then fell down and crashed".
