Newly emerged footage shows that the pilot of the Mi-8 had to maneuver dangerously close to the mountainside in order to pick up the paragliders, but unfortunately he lost control when the tail rotor collided with the mountain. pic.twitter.com/gIOotSmCZ9

Apparently the helicopter's fuel tank was full, it exploded shortly as it hit the ground. There are probably no survivors, although the information is yet to be confirmed. pic.twitter.com/J52jAursTJ
