TV cameramen among helicopter crash victims

Xinhua, September 13, 2015 Adjust font size:

Two television cameramen were among four victims killed in a helicopter crash in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality on Sunday.

They were Jiang Ya and Song Hao'en, both cameramen of Chongqing Broadcasting Group.

Jiang and Song started filming for a television program "A Bird's Eye View of the New Chongqing" in 2012. The program aims to present the development of Chongqing through aerial videos and images.

The crash happened at around 1 p.m. when the Bell 407 GX aircraft lost contact with ground control, after departing from Wanzhou District to Liangping County.

Rescuers found the debris of the helicopter and all four victims at around 6:30 p.m. in Hucao Village of Liangping County. Endi
