A helicopter accident during landing was captured on video in Dom Lara, Brazil, showing the aircraft losing stability and overturning; fortunately, no injuries were reported.
A helicopter experienced a lost stability incident during its landing on a soccer field in Dom Lara, a district of Caratinga, Eastern Minas Gerais, on Saturday afternoon. The event was recorded by a nearby camera, which captured the helicopter spinning in the air multiple times before it made contact with the ground. After the initial impact, the helicopter briefly lifted again before ultimately overturning on the field.
In the video, the moment is highlighted where the helicopter's rotor hit the ground and the engine ceased functioning, marking a critical point in the precarious landing attempt. Following the incident, the aircraft was seen being loaded onto a tow truck for removal from the soccer field and transport to another location. Although the scene appeared alarming, it is notable that no injuries were reported.
The current status remains unclear regarding the number of passengers on the helicopter at the time of the accident. Witnesses indicate that the helicopter belonged to a businessman who was visiting relatives in Dom Lara, which adds a personal context to the incident, although further information may be needed to confirm those details and ensure safety protocols were followed.
