Helicoptercrash in Italy - 6 dead

Swedish news have a short report on an italian helicopter crashing near Como during a sightseeingflight. Newspaper "Expressen" says it was a frenchbuilt helicopter. Pilot and 5 passengers were killed when the machine was completely destroyed in the crash.

Anyone got more info about this tragic incident ?

Best regards

Unhappy

Only that it was a privately-owned Squirrel.

I saw an orange coloured one carving up the sky low level around Lago Maggiore which is pretty close to Como... same one??? Around that area 99.9% of the helicopters have an Agusta decal on the side.

Been to "Dirty Shirts" for pizza there?

Camping Jolli on the river?

Gnochi in the hotel next to the river at the piazza just down stream of the bridge in Sesto?

Irish Coffee in the Irish bar in Stresa?

Ah...wonderful memories of the area....
