"“I saw the whole thing out of my office window.

“The helicopter was hovering over by the trees and it seemed like the pilot was trying to find somewhere to land.

“He started to come down but the ground there is very uneven.

“It went out of control and crashed into the trees.

“Luckily the people managed to get out before it flipped over.

“It toppled over and the blades went into the ground. It was all mangled – there’s not much of it left."

A blue Gazelle, apparently. Not a great start to 2012.
