Tourist Helicopter Crashes into Huge Bird

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Tourist Helicopter Crashes into Huge Bird

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Kampong Chhnang: On March 17 at 11:30 am, a tourist helicopter carrying 3 passengers from Phnom Penh, collided with a large bird mid-air and was forced to make an emergency landing on a farm in Steung Chrov Village, Borribo district, Phnom Penh.

Fortunately they landed safely and another helicopter came to pick up all passengers, while a specialist was called in to repair the damaged helicopter.

They crashed in Kampong Chhnang, but flew off elsewhere after the accident. Maybe some Chinese tourists/businessmen going to Sihanoukville to check their investments. There are a lot of red helicopters landing here in fields all over the place.

Probably hit the bird because the pilot couldn't see where he was flying with that huge piece of cardboard covering the windscreen...
