A Polish army helicopter crashed at
Massanzago, in the Veneto province of Padua, during an exercise
on Thursday, sources said.
The six military personnel aboard, five Poles and a French
national, got out alive and did not suffer serious injury, the
sources said.
The aircraft was part of a group flying in formation when the
officials on board spotted flames.
The pilot attempted an emergency landing in a field but the
aircraft hit the ground hard and caught fire after the impact.
Firefighters have put out the blaze.
