CH-47 Chinook Crash in Korea

A South Korean CH47 Chinook transport helicopter crashed today in Seoul, while installing bridge pylons. The chopper was helping local workers at installing the pylons for a new bridge across the Han River. All of a sudden it got destableized and it stalled, hitting the main support tower of the bridge and then crashing into the sea. Only one body recovered so far, due torough sea conditions.
