Bell 407 crashes during filming in Mexico Sept 18th

Apparently they hit a wire and went into lake Zirahuen.
The producer/director apparently drowned and four others escaped without serious injury.

Helicopter carrying film crew crashes in Mexico; music video director dies, 4 others injured

One wonders if they were shooting someone on the zip wire at the time of the crash.

This may have been the zip wire they hit.

The air ambulance had been donated for the day, so I gather they were shooting from an open side door or window?
