Footage captured the moment a Brazilian police helicopter fell out of the sky onto an urban highway.
The helicopter crash occurred on Monday, Jan. 8, while the Federal Highway Police chopper was transporting an accident victim.
Six people, including a doctor and a nurse, were on board the aircraft, but luckily no one was injured, the report said.
The helicopter suffered a rotor failure, forcing the pilot to make the dangerous manoeuvre, according to PRF Commander Aurélio Leal, who was on board.
“There were six of us. Everyone is fine, no one was injured, thank God, Leal said.
“The location was the best it could be after we had the rotation failure. Unfortunately, the tail hit the fence.”
Despite the miraculous outcome, the force of the chopper’s vortex blasted tiles off the roofs of nearby houses when it landed.
