10 dead in helicopter crash- French sport stars

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Oh, and it seems the contestants were all blindfolded when they crashed. Quel horreur.

The two helicopters collided in mid-air during perfect flying conditions just after take-off from a football pitch while filming the second episode of a new adventure show, Dropped, for France’s biggest private TV station, TF1. The programme, an adaptation of a Swedish format, was to feature an all-star cast of French sporting figures taken blindfolded by helicopter and left in the wilderness to find their way back to civilisation. In total, eight French nationals were killed, including crew members, as well as two Argentinian pilots. There were no survivors.
Maybe the helicopter pilots were blindfolded too. %)
