A spectacular helicopter accident


A helicopter was helping to string Christmas lights in New Zealand when it got too close to some cables.







A different view of the crash may be seen in this video report, which I can't embed here, along with an interview with the pilot (who, amazingly, survived with only minor scrapes and bruises). I don't know if New Zealand celebrates Thanksgiving or not, but that pilot certainly has something to be thankful for!
