This is the moment a pilot stops his helicopter from crashing into a mountain, instead making an emergency landing on a farm in South America.
Dramatic video recorded by the aviator on the private aircraft and a resident on the ground showed just how catastrophic the crash could’ve been as it was feet away from colliding with the grassy hills in western Argentina.
Cell phone images registered by the pilot, Walter Quiroga, inside the cockpit documented just how close the helicopter, a Robinson 44 model, was to making it to the landing strip on a farm before a distress alarm goes off.
