FROM NY POST: A helicopter crashed into a row of trees at California’s bustling Huntington Beach on Saturday afternoon, leaving five injured, according to reports.

The chopper was steadily lowering down to the tree line before it suddenly careened back upwards and then went out of control at about 2 p.m.

Two people on the chopper were removed safely, while three pedestrians on the ground were left injured, police told CBS News. All were hospitalized in unknown condition.


The helicopter started to spin sideways and its rear rotor appeared to stop working before it plummeted into palm trees on it’s way to the ground, the Post notes.
