Narrative: A Ka-226 crashed into an uninhabited building near the village of Achi-Su,Karabudakhkent, Dagestan. Five of the seven occupants perished and the helicopter was destroyed
Video footage of the accident shows the helicopter landed hard on a beach in a steep nose-up attitude. The tail broke off and remained dangling behind the helicopter. The pilot took off and struggled to control the helicopter. It finally impacted a building and burst into flames. Four KEMZ employees were among the casualties, including the plant's deputy general director of construction and transport support. The Ka-226 flight mechanic also died in the crash and two others were injured.
Preliminary information from the black box decoding shows no technical faults with the helicopter, making pilot error the preferred explanation.
