| 2005-10-23 |
| BAKU - Five people were killed when a Russian helicopter crashed and exploded in Azerbaijan late Saturday, Azerbaijan’s Lider television channel reported overnight. Earlier Azerbaijan’s national aviation company had said the civilian helicopter, transporting humanitarian aid to quake-hit Pakistan, exploded in flight Saturday and crashed in Azerbaijan, probably killing all five people on board. The five-man crew was presumably killed, according to the report, but no details on the crew’s nationality were immediately available. |
