Which helicopter is that? Seems like something from Eurocopter stable.

Looks like a close call.

Thankfully it did not land on its side. Judging by its broken tail it seems to have been rough.

This company had lost another chopper in an accident quite recently.

Because, like me, many others did not know about this and did not know that Meghna Group operates Helicopters. Also, it was never posted in PDF.
