Helicopter crash kills 5 in South Korea
Seoul - Five people died when a fire fighting helicopter crashed in South Korea's southern city of Gwangju on Thursday, broadcaster YTN TV reported.
The helicopter crashed near a school in a residential district. One high school student who stood at a bus stop was injured in the crash, according to YTN.
All five fire fighters aboard the helicopter died in the crash, the station reported, citing the fire fighting authorities.
