A tourist helicopter has crashed moments after take-off with six people on board.

Horror footage filmed by an onlooker shows the chopper taking off from a building roof.

But it suddenly starts to spin in the sky.

The helicopter then plummets to the ground as the cameraperson wrongly says: “It fell, they’ve been killed.”

But miraculously all six people on board survived.

Other videos show the crashed chopper on top of a nearby rooftop.

The craft was carrying the pilot, co-pilot, and four tourists at the time of the crash in Medellín, Colombia, on the evening of 26 February.

The helicopter, a Bell 206 with the registration HK4810, ended up on top of a restaurant building next to a communications antenna.

Over 70 emergency workers took part in the rescue operation.

One of the pilots reportedly suffered a broken leg and was hospitalised, while the others only sustained minor injuries.

The authorities are investigating whether the accident occurred due to a technical problem with the chopper.

According to initial reports, this helicopter was used to carry out tourist flights over the city, lasting between 12 and 15 minutes.

The investigation into the crash continues.
