Helicopter Flies Into Power Lines During Training Exercise
Years ago, an unusual scene landed on the Internet, during which a real drama was created during the staged rescue operation.
The pilot of the helicopter hit the power lines, and the rope on which the rescuer and the victim were hanging broke during the incident.
On the island of Martinique in the eastern Caribbean Sea, which falls under the territory of France, a rescue operation was staged in 2019, which could also end tragically.
The rescue helicopter hit the power lines with propellers, but the pilot managed to stabilize the helicopter. Less fortunate were the rescuer and the victim, who were hanging on a rope at the time of the incident.
The safety rope broke when the helicopter touched the power line, and the rescuer and the victim fell into the sea. Fortunately, they didn't get hurt - the outcome would have been different if the helicopter hadn't flown over the water.
