In the wake of Friday’s massive earthquake in Mexico, frightened survivors near the epicenter gathered in a field, opting to spend the night in their cars or under the stars instead of in their damaged, aftershock-prone homes. And then there was an unexpected crisis. It came down from the sky this time.
The pilot lost control just as a military helicopter carrying senior officials who were assessing the earthquake damage was ready to land nearby. The helicopter crashed to the ground a few seconds later, striking multiple cars carrying earthquake survivors.
