Baku, May 8, AZERTAC
A crew member died after a fire-fighting helicopter made an emergency landing in eastern South Korea on Monday, according to Yonhap.
The 47-year-old maintenance worker on board the helicopter, identified only by his last name Cho, fell unconscious and later died after being taken to a nearby hospital in Samcheok, about 290 kilometers east of Seoul.
The two pilots who were on board the chopper are known to be in a stable condition.
The accident occurred around 11:46 a.m. when the chopper got stuck on a high-tension power line during a mission to put out a fire that has ravaged the country's eastern areas, according to officials.
The helicopter was partially damaged in the process of making the landing alongside a stream, they said.
Tens of fire-fighting helicopters and thousands of people have been mobilized to contain the fire that began Saturday.
Authorities said they are investigating the details of the incident.
