Narrative:
A trainee pilot was practicing hovering at alt. 2 m with an instructor when the helicopter crashed to the ground due to mechanical fault. News sources reported different degrees of occupant injury; some claimed that both were hospitalized but others indicate that only one person was slightly wounded. The helicopter was presumably damaged beyond repair.
