A Blackhawk military helicopter that took off with 7 military personnel in the morning from Songkhla in southern Thailand suffered engine failure shortly after takeoff. While looking for flat terrain to make an emergency landing, the helicopter crashed into a forestry area. Six soldiers were taken out of the helicopter with injuries after a local resident rushed to their aid. The pilot, who was trapped inside the aircraft, was eventually rescued by the teams who arrived on the scene.
According to authorities, the seven personnel were hospitalized and were in good condition.
