Five people survive tourist helicopter crash in Bali

Two Australian and three Indonesian nationals survived a tourist helicopter crashed in Bali, after it became entangled in a kite string, officials said on Friday.

The Bell 505 Jet Ranger X helicopter, owned by PT Whitesky came down in Pecatu village in the coastal area on the southern side of BaliAviation, , a statement from Indonesia’s transport ministry said.

Photos circulated by Indonesia’s Search and Rescue Agency showed the helicopter with five people on board — including the crew and passengers — crashed on a limestone cliff.

Authorities say a team is being sent to the crash site for further investigation.
