Two people have reportedly died after a pair of helicopters from the same Malaysian pilot school collided during a training flight, authorities announced on Sunday.
An amateur video that has gone viral on the internet showed one helicopter falling into a wooded part of Kula Lumpur, while the other managed to land safely in a school field.
The transport ministry said both helicopters had taken off Subang Airport for a regular training session.
