Twisting By The Pool - Fiji Style

Seven people survived a helicopter crash on Fiji's Treasure Island last night.
The Eurocopter they were in was trying to land when it crashed, the Fiji Broadcasting Commission reported.
It is believed the aircraft may have been caught by a strong gust of wind.
A witness, Bob Carroll, wrote on Facebook: "A beautiful day trip to Treasure Island changed dramatically as an inbound helicopter attempting to land on the Treasure Island helipad only 50m from where we were dining caught a wind gust that sent it into a tree and then crashing into another tree right next to the pool ... scary but thank God all got out of the chopper and we are all OK."
