TheFlyingDutchman Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Rumours on German news sites say that one landing helicopter caused a lot of snow to blow around, blinding the pilot of a second helicopter causing him to hit the first helicopter, and then it crashed from low altitude. They were doing a football riot excercise next to the Olympic Stadium in Berlin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
streetstream Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 Rumours on German news sites say that one landing helicopter caused a lot of snow to blow around, If you look at the second picture, it looks like they crashed inside the olympic stadium. They were trying to land on the grass field i believe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
