Rio de janeiro: Four people were killed in a helicopter crash yesterday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, including three Colombian tourists from the same family. Brazilian authorities reported that the helicopter crashed in Tijuca National Park, a mountainous, forested area characterized by dense vegetation. According to National Iraqi News Agency, firefighters confirmed finding the charred bodies of the pilot and three women on a difficult-to-access mountain slope. Rio de Janeiro Mayor Eduardo Cavalieri, in a post on the X platform, called on Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency to immediately tighten controls to ensure the safety of helicopter flights. Last June, a collision between two helicopters over Rio de Janeiro resulted in the deaths of six people. Helicopter tours are a major attraction for tourists seeking to view the natural landscapes of this major coastal city.
