Helicopter crashes into kindergarten, killing children.

[Jim Logajan]

A helicopter crash in Ukraine sadly managed to realize the proverbial crash into (or near) a kindergarten, killing several children and some parents in addition to all on board the helicopter. The pilot in the linked video provides a brief overview of the crash (the first 7 minutes of the video,) and says that the helicopter was likely operating in fog and ceilings under 100 feet in an urban area - perhaps intending to land to pick up someone:

Doubtful. They were scud running for obvious reasons at speed when they hit the top of the building. No landings sites near from what I've read and heard. Follow the magenta line.... providing your altimeter is set right. FYI: this was a modern SAR aircraft with glass cockpit and various SAR control systems.
