TWO people have been injured in a harrowing helicopter crash that saw the aircraft catch fire in midair and spiral out of control.
The chopper went down at around 8.45am on Monday in Pompano Beach, Florida, near Fort Lauderdale.
Dramatic video posted on Facebook captured the moment a trail of smoke billowing from the Broward Sheriff’s Office Fire Rescue helicopter in midair before flames began shooting out of it.
The chopper then began to spiral before it crashed on the ground.
Footage from WSVN showed several fire rescue trucks on the crash site putting out the flames.
