Helicopter Crash New Zealand 2011

(C) COPYRIGHT STRICTLY ENFORCED - Do not copy ! - licencing email: murrayjobnz@ Whist erecting a seven story high structure to be used as a Christmas tree, the helicopters rotor struck a cable causing the aircraft to crash to the ground. The Pilot was helped from the crumpled wreckage with minor injuries. Both of my Panasonic P2HD camera’s were recording at the same time, even though I go to re-position myself because I didn’t like the look of the cable near the rotor, my camera I am carrying is still recording. My other static wide view camera caught me walking across the frame, you can see the guy tug on the cable just as I go past him. After the impact, and seeing that the wreck had not burst in to flames, I’m the guy in the yellow hi-vis, white hat and blue jeans that hops in to the cab to help get the unconscious pilot out along with the guy who originally pulled on the cable, by the grace of God, no one was badly injured.
