Gazprom Mi-8 Fire

​​​​​​​🔥 In Russia, a Gazprom-owned Mi-8 helicopter catches fire in midair

The fire broke out on board a Gazprom Avia Mi-8 helicopter flying to Nadym. During the flight, a fire alarm went off in the cockpit, and the cargo and roof caught fire in the cabin.

The helicopter made an emergency landing 40 km from Nadym. No one was injured

I know there are lots and lots of them, but the Mi-8 does seem to feature quite prominently in the Accident/Incident statistics.
