A firefighting helicopter plunged nose-first into a river while scooping up water to tackle wildfires, killing one crew member.
Dramatic footage shows the aircraft slowly being dragged downwards after filling its water bucket before crashing into the water.
The helicopter was carrying out an aerial firefighting mission over the Barito River in South Kalimantan, Indonesia, yesterday (8 November).

Three crew members were on board the Super Puma H-225 when it came down.
The victim was identified as Indonesian national Yayan Supyansuri, who worked as a crew member and navigator.
His body was recovered at 6.08pm local time following a search operation involving four divers.
Two other crew members survived the crash and were rescued, as reported by Need To Know.
They were identified as pilot Hugh Pagi and co-pilot and technician Mick Betteridge, both foreign nationals from Australia and New Zealand, according to Indonesian media reports.
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
The aircraft belonged to a company contracted by Indonesia’s disaster management agency to carry out water-bombing operations.
The tragedy comes just four days after another helicopter crashed during a firefighting mission elsewhere on the island of Borneo.
A military Mil-17 helicopter carrying eight people plunged into waters near Tanjung Puting National Park last Wednesday (4 November), killing three people.
The aircraft had also been collecting water for an aerial firefighting operation when it crashed.
The park is home to the critically endangered Bornean orangutan.
Indonesia has been battling wildfires for months, with blazes sweeping across large areas of Sumatra, Borneo and Papua.
The fires have destroyed more than 1.9m hectares (4.7m acres) of land, according to deforestation monitor Nusantara Atlas.
Thick smoke has also drifted across borders, bringing choking haze to neighbouring Malaysia, Singapore and East Timor.
Authorities have blamed the worsening conditions in part on a strong El Niño weather phenomenon, which typically brings drought to Indonesia.
