TWO people were injured this morning when a helicopter crashed in an open area at the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang.

The Fire and Rescue Department said five people were aboard the Airbus H125 helicopter when the mishap occurred.

One of them suffered a broken leg and head injuries and another slightly injured his leg.

The three others escaped unhurt.

Earlier this year,  a Robinson R66 Turbine helicopter crashed near the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) in Pulau Indah 

The pilot had lost control of the vehicle during a hover training session, sending it plummeting from a height of about four metres.

The helicopter overturned upon landing, causing the tail end to break off and be flung 20 metres from the crash site.

The pilot, who was 73, and his passenger, 53, were slightly injured and treated at the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital in Klang.

In November, two helicopters collided in mid-air over a school in Taman Melawati.

Mohamed Sabri Baharom, 56, and Mohd Irfan Fikri Mohamed Rawi, 44, were killed in the collision.

A video clip (see below) of one of the helicopters plunging down from the sky went viral. – March 24, 2021.
