Kiyo: A small helicopter
lost power and came crashing down on a busy downtown Honolulu Street Wednesday
afternoon, but no one was seriously injured, authorities said.
"It's
a pretty miraculous situation that no one was badly hurt by this," said Capt.
Terry Seelig, a spokesman for the Honolulu Fire Department. "This is a
pretty busy area."
The
helicopter was on a photography flight when it lost power, forcing a crash
landing on Fort Street, which is home to a large apartment complex and Hawaii
Pacific University. The area is usually full of university students and
downtown office workers, and has a lot of vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
Preliminary
information indicates the Robinson R22 Beta had an engine failure, said Allen
Kenitzer, spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration.
