The Little Rock Police Department in Arkansas, US, has released CCTV footage of the moment a police helicopter that was undergoing testing crashed. The video shows the helicopter, a Bell TH-67, hovering unsteadily above a takeoff platform in a parking lot, but as the aircraft lowers slightly, the skid becomes snagged on the platform, causing the helicopter to tilt sideways, the blades smashing into the ground, and the cabin of the aircraft rolls upside down before coming to a stop. The pilot, retired police officer William Denio, was seriously injured in the accident.
