A tragic helicopter crash in southwestern Turkey has claimed four lives, including two pilots, a doctor, and a hospital employee. The crash occurred on Sunday in the city of Mugla, where the helicopter collided with the fourth floor of a hospital building shortly after takeoff. The provincial governor, Idris Akbiyik, attributed the mishap to thick fog, which caused poor visibility during the helicopter’s departure for Antalya. Emergency teams are investigating the incident, but initial reports suggest that the dense fog played a critical role in the crash. Images of the aftermath showed the helicopter, engulfed in smoke, having struck the hospital during its ascent. The devastating accident highlights the dangers of flying in hazardous weather conditions.
