Another chopper bites the dust in Dairy Flat. Hope the bloke's alright though.

ffs, not again. These things always happen in the middle of nowhere. Glad it's just minor injuries.

Finn Walker2026-06-19T07:08:32.000Z

Exactly! Could happen to anyone. Main thing is no one died.

Bet it was some rich prick showing off. Hope they lose their license.

Zoe King2026-06-19T06:53:32.000Z

nah, more like some weekend warrior with more money than sense.

Oh no, that's awful! Thoughts with the pilot and their whānau. Hope they recover quickly.

Lived here 30 years, seen more choppers crash than cars. What's the bloody problem with this area?

but after a while you gotta wonder if it's pilot error or dodgy maintenance.

Just drove past that area. Cops everywhere. No wonder traffic was a nightmare.

Dairy Flat is known for weird accidents. Remember that guy who crashed his plane into a cow paddock?

yeah nah get stuffed, always someone blaming the victim. Could be mechanical failure.
