Chopper Crash: 4 Killed In Brazil

August, 09 - (The Global News Desk 115) - 

. A helicopter meant for tourists, packed with a pilot and three Colombian women, plummeted in a forest today.

. A helicopter crashed in a forest in Rio de Janeiro at around 11: 11 A.M local time. 

Today, Brazilian authorities announced that 3 of the victims were women from Colombia, all part of the same family.

Early reports suggest that one of the tourists was taking pictures over Tijuca National Park when the helicopter crashed into a steep, heavily wooded area.

This made it very difficult for firefighters and other rescue teams to reach the location and rescue victims. 

Firefighters and other rescue teams leaped into action as soon as they received a phone call at 11:30 A.M Saturday. 

The helicopter blew up right after hitting the ground, causing a fire that was put out.

At the site, rescue teams found that all four tourists' corpses were burned completely.
