Chopper Crash in Uttarakhand: Helicopter Safety CrisisHits Kedarnath Route Again| Watch

Chopper Crash in Uttarakhand continues as yet another Kedarnath-bound chopper crash-lands near Badasu.

This marks the fourth helicopter safety crisis on the Char Dham route in 30 days.

The AW119 aircraft suffered a tail rotor failure and made an emergency landing on a road, narrowly avoiding a major disaster.

Although no fatalities occurred, Chopper Crash in Uttarakhand raises serious questions about maintenance checks, pilot training, and aviation regulations in India’s high-altitude pilgrimage zones.

Authorities are investigating the Chopper Crash in Uttarakhand, but the recurring nature of these accidents indicates a deepening helicopter safety crisis that can no longer be ignored.

Experts urge immediate reforms to avert more tragedies.
