What Happens When Aircraft Collide With Obstacles
Aircraft crashes can occur when a helicopter or plane comes into contact with obstacles such as trees or structures. These impacts can quickly lead to loss of control.
The altitude, speed, and angle of impact all affect how the crash unfolds. Even at lower heights, collisions can cause serious damage.
After an impact, the emergency response focuses on reaching those inside and providing medical care. The surrounding terrain can also influence how quickly crews are able to access the site.
