R44 into a Fuel tanker
R44 crashes into a fuel tanker
You wouldnt believe it, no explosion and the three onboard suffered non life threatening injuries.
The accident is believed to have happend at 13.00 LMT by Rudskogen i Østfold. Three taken to hospital, one by airambulance. A 42 year old man is believed to have extensive head injuries, but is in a stable condition.
The helicopter was operating in the area and landed on the tanker in a building site!!
The helicopter is believed to be owned by the Nordkapp company. The helicopter was being used as a photography platform. They were taking pictures for the local newspaper of the building site.

Sometimes it's better to land a bit further away from the fuel.

Eyewitnesses reports that the R44 was orbiting the site, then suddenly startet to spin around the rotors axis. (According to NRK TV-news today)
Tail rotor failure anyone?
Tail rotor failure anyone?
Another report from this accident:

It seems, they didnt want to land near that truck, they were obviously on a photomission overhead this construction site.

Great advert for the pro-helmet lobby me thinks...
M609
Something tells me this pilot won't be doing this type of parking again!
Quite amazing with all that spare open space around him, he had to pick the fuel tanker to park on.
