A helicopter carrying the leadership team of Ukraine's interior ministry crashed near a kindergarten and residential block in the Kyiv region on Wednesday, killing at least 14 people, including all nine people on board, according to officials.
Unfortunately, it crashed near kindergarten ground killing at least one child and injuring several. Pilot knew they are going down and attempted to reduce casualties by avoiding housing blocks and crashing into some relatively empty land.
Even worse, the helicopter actually crashed directly into the kindergarten as the pilot lost control attempting to avoid a high rise apartment building.
Yeah there is pic with the kindergarten building burning. I mean pilot most likely didn’t know it was kindergarten so he crashed there because smaller building was bound to have less people inside this early.
Of course, I’m not saying hitting the kindergarten was intentional, but an extremely cruel twist of fate as one of the very few buildings that would have many people in it that early in the morning would be a school.
