In Cairns, Australia, a helicopter crashed onto the roof of a hotel, forcing the evacuation of 300-400 people. Two hotel guests were hospitalized, and the helicopter's rotor blades fell into the pool and onto the esplanade.

A helicopter crashed on Monday night onto the roof of a hotel in the popular tourist town of Cairns in northeastern Australia. Hundreds of people were evacuated from the hotel. This was reported by the Associated Press, according to UNN.

Details

The accident occurred at two o'clock in the morning on Monday in the city, which is located in the state of Queensland.

A city spokesperson confirmed that two helicopter propellers broke off and landed on the esplanade and in the hotel pool.

About 300-400 people were evacuated from the building, "people on the ground were not injured," the ambulance service said.

Two people from the hotel - a man in his 80s and a woman in her 70s - were taken to Cairns Hospital in stable condition.

Emergency services did not say whether there were any passengers on board. A spokesman for the Queensland Ambulance Service said it was likely that only one person was on board the helicopter at the time of the crash.
