Narrative:
The helicopter was flying in clear sky when the airframe suddenly began vibrating, which so severely compromised the helicopter's controllability that the pilots were forced to put the helicopter down in a farmland. Impact with ground damaged the helicopter beyond repair and wounded the pilots. Inquiry led by the Northeast Regional Administration of CAAC was unable to pinpoint the cause of the violent vibration. Still, safety recommendations were made in the survival aspects noted during investigation.
