Helicopter Crashes In Sarawak, Killing Three Russians

Yet another helicopter crash occurs in Sarawak, Malaysia's largest state, Saturday:

A logging helicopter crashed in Kapit Division, bursting into flames and killing three Russian nationals on board during heavy rain at about 3pm Saturday.

Kapit OCPD DSP Johar Ahmad, when contacted, confirmed the incident and said that investigation into the crash had begun.

The helicopter, of the KAMOV KA-32 model, was believed to be involved in winching logs to be transferred to waiting lorries which would remove them to the logging camp. (Source: Bernama)

This is the fifth crashes in the state this year, killing some 20 people. A Sarawak minister was quoted previously that he was now thinking twice before boarding a helicopter. That makes two of us, Mr Minister!
