On the morning of November 4th local time, a small helicopter carrying three people crashed in waters near Miami, Florida, resulting in one death and two injuries.
According to the U.S. Coast Guard, after the accident, the Coast Guard and several local firefighting and rescue teams rushed to the scene. Among the three people on board, one was confirmed dead, and two were injured. They were taken to local medical institutions for further treatment. The two survivors were in serious condition at the time of the accident, with critical situations but stable conditions.
According to Flightradar24, the aircraft took off from North Perry Airport in Pembroke Pierces, Florida around 11 a.m., then flew south. It circled several times near the Kibiccan Bridge, and continued its southward flight before crashing approximately 7 minutes later.
According to preliminary information, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) believes that this flight was likely an aerial photography mission.
The aerial footage from the accident site shows that the helicopter fell into the sea upside down, with part of its landing gear visible above the water surface.
As for the cause of the accident, there is still no clear conclusion yet.
