SAAF Augsta 109 Crash Tuesday

Just read this news report from an online paper.

The body of one of the South African Air Force members killed in a helicopter crash was found on Wednesday, KwaZulu-Natal police said.

Director Phindile Radebe said the three SAAF members died when their Agusta A109 helicopter crashed into a dam in the upper Tugela area on Tuesday.

"We have found one body so far and the wreckage. Police divers and South African National Defence Force divers are still busy searching for the other two," she said.

The accident happened during a training flight to Dragons Peak Park in KwaZulu-Natal. The helicopter plunged into Woodstock Dam and sank. - Sapa
