A police helicopter collided into the ground Thursday in Little Rock, Arkansas, snapping off propellers that then flew into the air. The pilot, a retired officer, was seriously injured, police said.
The accident unfolds in footage released Tuesday by the Little Rock Police Department that shows the helicopter hovering unsteadily above a takeoff platform in a parking lot. As the aircraft bobs, a nearby man on the ground gestures frantically.
The helicopter then gets snagged on the platform, tilting sideways as blades smash into the asphalt and spin upward.
