A civilian helicopter crashed on Wednesday afternoon (8) in a subdivision in the Alto Mundai region near Porto Seguro.
There were six people on the helicopter, a pilot and five passengers, and no one was injured. The pilot would have lowered the height of the flight because of the strong wind, when it lost stability and fell into the jungle.
