AS350 down in Spain

An AS350 operated by TAF Helicopters of Barcelona had a forced landing on Wednesday. The three people on board survived but all received injuries, one of them (mechanic) has serious back injuries. They were making intensive (filming) inspections of High voltage power line towers near the town of Elche in the province of Alicante. Looks like they were lucky enough to be hovering over a mandarin plantation at the time. Local press reports say the pilot reported a loss of power and the Helicopter fell almost vertical, the pictures support a vertical descent.
