Sightseeing helicopter crashes and lands on two tourists in terrifying footage

A sightseeing helicopter crashed in Qinghai Province, China, striking two tourists who sustained head injuries, one more seriously. The incident occurred at the Chaka Sky No. 1 Scenic Area, where the helicopter was performing a low-altitude demonstration flight. The aircraft lost control, veered left, and landed on two spectators, who were hospitalized but remained conscious. Officials confirmed the crash involved a self-rotating rotorcraft and noted that the aircraft was seized for investigation. The cause is under review, with early suggestions pointing to wake turbulence from a nearby gyroplane. Meanwhile, an aviation influencer named Tang Feiji died in a separate incident last September when his ultralight aircraft crashed during a livestream, killing him despite viewers' attempts to intervene.

Bias read (Center): The article presents both incidents neutrally, focusing on factual reporting without overtly favoring any political stance. It covers two separate aviation accidents without commentary on governmental policies or political figures, maintaining a balanced tone.
