- Story Text: A CCTV camera caught the moment of a military helicopter crash in Istanbul that killed four Turkish soldiers on Monday (November 26).
Four soldiers were killed and another was injured after the military helicopter crashed in a central district of Istanbul.
The helicopter was carrying out training flights at the Samandira air base in Istanbul and the reason for its crash has not yet been determined, the state-owned Anadolu news agency cited governor Ali Yerlikaya as saying.
Rescue workers sorted through the debris where the helicopter lay on its side on the street. A large chunk of the tail rested on the other side of the road.
The helicopter hit the roof of a four-storey apartment building as it attempted an emergency landing. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
