In a dramatic turn of events, a private helicopter en route to pick up Shiv Sena Deputy Leader Sushma Andhare crashed upon landing in Maharashtra. The incident, which occurred in Mahad town, Raigad, left the hired rotary winger badly damaged but saw the pilot survive by jumping off the chopper.
According to officials, the white-and-blue helicopter was on its way to pick up Andhare when it crashed during its landing attempt. A live video recording shared by Andhare captured the moment when the chopper appeared to swerve, wobble, and lose balance before crashing with a loud sound, creating a cloud of dust on an open ground at an unidentified location.
Following the crash, police and rescue teams swiftly responded to the scene to investigate the incident. Despite the shaken state after the crash, Andhare, who was scheduled to fly in the same helicopter, proceeded to her election meetings in different parts of the district by car.
The survival of the pilot amid the wreckage highlights the swift actions taken during the emergency, while the damaged helicopter underscores the risks associated with air travel. Further details regarding the cause of the crash and any potential injuries are expected to emerge as investigations progress.
