A video recorded by a spectator at the Gelendzhik Air Show in Russia last Thursday shows the terrible moment when a Mil Mi-8 helicopter crashed on the airfield.
Russian media reported that two people on board were killed on site while a third person sustained injuries and his condition remains critical. No one on the ground was hurt.
The exact cause and the contributing factors of the accident remain under investigation, but the footage shows the twin-turbine helicopter making a bouncy landing and its tail braking off.
Note: While the video does not feature graphic images, some viewers might find the footage of the accident disturbing
