Default Auckland Helicopter Crash

Just found this on the internet. One very lucky pilot.

Quote:
A NEW Zealand pilot has escaped serious injury after his helicopter crashed near the Auckland Viaduct while erecting a Christmas tree.
The Fire communications centre confirmed the crash about 10.30am (8.30am AEDT) today.
The incident was seen live on the TVNZ website as it streamed the event.
It occurred near where the Maori Waka had been set up during the Rugby World Cup.
The New Zealand Herald reported the helicopter pilot was seen walking away from the crash with the support of two people also working on the project.
