Helicopter crashes near Yacht in New Zealand

23 November 2011 – A helicopter pilot is lucky to be alive today …

after his bird went down while attempting to set up a massive Christmas

Tree in New Zealand this morning … and the whole thing was caught on

tape.

According to reports, the blades got tangled in some cables …

knocking the chopper into a tailspin … and then the whole thing came

crashing down to the ground.

Miraculously, nobody on the ground was injured.
