Hanoi (VNA) - Three Indonesians and two Australian nationals survived after a tourist helicopter crashed on Indonesian island of Bali on July 19.
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, Indonesia’s transportation ministry said in a statement.
Photos circulated by Indonesia’s Search and Rescue Agency showed the helicopter with five people on board — including the crew and passengers — crashed on a limestone cliff.
All victims have received medical treatment.
Authorities are conducting an investigation to clarify the cause of this accident. Initial investigation suggested that the helicopter was likely to be entangled in the kite string./.
