Two Australians and three Indonesians survive helicopter crash in Bali, officials say | BaliTwo Australians and three Indonesians have survived a tourist helicopter crash in Bali after it became entangled in a kite string, officials say. The Bell 505 Jet Ranger X helicopter, owned by PT Whitesky Aviation, came down in Pecatu village in the coastal area on the southern side of Bali, a statement from Indonesia’s transportation ministry said. Photos circulated by Indonesia’s search and rescue agency showed the helicopter, which had five people on board including the crew and passengers, crashed on a limestone cliff. “All victims could be evacuated safely,” said a written statement from the agency in Bali on Friday. Three of them were taken to hospital for further treatment. Indonesia, a sprawling archipelago nation of about 270 million people, has been plagued by transportation accidents in recent years, including plane crashes and ferry sinkings. Authorities said a team was being sent to the crash site for further investigation. Source link Posted: 2024-07-20 01:43:38 |
