MANILA, Philippines (AP) - An air force helicopter crashed on a busy street in a central Philippine city on Saturday, pinning a motorcycle taxi and hitting another with its spinning rotors. At least seven people on the ground and one airman were killed.
The Vietnam War-era UH-1H Huey was preparing to land after a training flight when it crashed about a mile from the Mactan air base, said Lt. Col. Epifanio Panzo, an air force spokesman. Investigators were sent to determine the cause.
Panzo confirmed the death of one crew member; three others on the helicopter suffered minor injuries, hospital staff said.
