Rotorcraft mid-air in Argentina while filming 'reality' show with Olympic athletes

Sad event for sure. Seems to be "improper formation" with the early information in the news.

The reality show just got real.

There were two Olympic medal winners on board.

Formation flying requires coordination and training.

Dang. Video really hammers home how unforgiving a midair collision is when flying. What would be a fender bender in a car, boat, etc... is often game over in an aircraft.

Wow that makes my stomach just churn...why?

Didn't this same thing happen a year or so ago in Nevada or Arizona involving an AH-1 helicopter filming a reality show for an overseas TV network?

I think the AA1 was filming for the US version of Top Gear. No fatalities, but he broke the plane pretty good.
