The helicopter was on its way to Aurangabad en route to Nagpur; authorities surmise that fog drove it into clouds, causing it to crash into the rocky slopes of Naneghat; none survived
Around 7.47 am yesterday, a Bell 212 helicopter carrying five men lifted off from Juhu Aerodrome for Nagpur. Only about 20 minutes later, the ill-fated carrier crash-landed on the rocky slopes near Murbad in Thane. None of the passengers survived the crash.
The chopper, which is owned by United Helicharters Pvt Ltd, crashed near Tokawade village. It was scheduled to land at Aurangabad at 9.30 am, before lifting off again for Nagpur.
