Helicopter Mi-8 was on its training flight when it fell down. It happened around 7 o’clock in the evening. Four people died. The flight was provided by the private company ‘Ukrainian helicopters’. All the dead are its workers: a commander, second pilot and flight engineers who performed the training.

Witnesses of the accident say they heard some bursts before the helicopter caught on fire. The nearest houses locate 200 meters from the place of the accident.

Policemen consider some cases of the accident. One of them is that the helicopter hit an electricity grid. But the most important reason is a TV tower standing nearby. It is attached to the ground with some metal ropes. Policemen suggest the pilot crashed into one of them.
