«Breaking News» Terrifying moment a tourist helicopter crashes to the ground and rolls onto its side

This is the terrifying moment a tourist helicopter suddenly plummets to the ground and rolls onto its side when the pilot loses control of the aircraft in Argentina.

The clip, filmed in Valle de Uco in Tupungato, captures the helicopter as its pilot attempts to make an emergency landing near to the San Antonio ranch.

But as it approaches the ground, the aircraft suddenly leans to the right and crashes into the grass - momentarily rolling onto its side as its rotor blades smack against a fence.

Another clip, recorded inside the helicopter, shows the pilot and a passenger as a blaring alarm sounds moments before the crash.

The La Puntilla helicopter had been taking two American tourists on a panoramic tour of the area when the pilot, Walter Quiroga, noticed something was wrong and decided to perform an emergency landing.

Mr Quiroga then appeared to lose control when the helicopter suddenly dropped to the ground with a crash and the camera turned black.  

Emergency services were called as soon as the helicopter lost contact with Francisco Gabrielli airport, reports said.

Firefighters, Civil Protection officers and a police helicopter were used in the rescue effort to reach the San Antonio ranch. 

Paramedics attended to the three people who were inside the helicopter - but none of them needed to be hospitalised. 

Mr Quiroga said: 'We were never lost like has been said. I was the one who reported what happened.

'As soon as it happened I notified that we were all okay and the none of the three of us needed medical assistance. We all walked away from it. 

'The tourists took it very well despite what happened. They asked me if I was okay.' 

The pilot said the helicopter was insured but admitted it 'had a lot of damage' and it 'will not be convenient to repair'. 

'I'm not the first and I won't be the last pilot to have an accident. I have been a pilot for 20 years and I'll keep being a pilot,' he said.

'My wife has been through so many scares with me that now she's used to it. It can happen to anyone on their way to work. Road accidents are more common than air accidents.' 

According to preliminary investigations, the helicopter suffered a mechanical failure which affected the GPS radar and caused an interruption with the control tower.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
