A small helicopter made an emergency landing on a downtown street in Fort Lauderdale during rush hour on January 24, according to officials cited in local reports.
No injuries were reported despite the tail section of the Schweizer 269C-1 helicopter broke off in the landing. The landing happened just before 5 pm on Southeast Second Street.
The helicopter avoided moving cars and pedestrians on the street but its rotor blades did slam against a parked Mercedes SUV, the report said. Credit: Randy Hunt via Storyful
