The helicopter was transporting water to Aitik mine in a vessel hanging under the helicopter, used for firefighting, from a small lake near the mine. The purpouse was to reduce a problem with dust.
By some reason, the pilot lost control when hovering and the helicopter crashlanded in a bog beside the lake. The helicopter came to a rest lying on its side and the pilot could leave the helicopter unharmed or with minor injuries.
