Watch footage of Argentina chopper crash that killed three French sports stars
- 9 years ago
France has sent a team of experts and technicians to assist with the investigation into Monday's helicopter crash that killed ten people, including three sports stars in northwestern Argentina.
The cast and crew of 'Dropped', a reality show by French channel TF1, boarded two Eurocopter helicopters in the region of La Rioja, Argentina.
Local media reported that swimmer Alain Bernard got out of one of the helicopters at the last minute to avoid overloading.
Other contestants, blindfolded, were standing on the ground several hundred metres away when the crash occurred.
The choppers were flying very close to each other when their rotors clipped, sending both aircraft crashing to the ground, video footage shows.
The helicopters exploded after hitting the ground. Contestants rushed to the site of the crash but were unable to put out the fire.
No one survived the crash. Argentine authorities said it was too early to determine the cause of the fatal accident.
The crash killed champion sailor Florence Arthaud, Olympic swimmer Camille Muffat and Olympic boxer Alexis Vastine. The others victims were members of the production crew working for Adventure Line Productions, the company behind the survival reality show.
