Four people, including 3 family members, killed in helicopter crash in Rio de Janeiro. Colombian Family on Birthday TripPaez told the media that the three women had travelled to Rio de Janeiro as part of a larger family group to mark a girl's 15th birthday celebration. Because the helicopter had capacity for only three passengers alongside the pilot, the group of six had divided into two. The crash occurred close to Vista Chinesa, a scenic lookout point within Tijuca National Park. "My solidarity to the families of the victims of the helicopter accident that happened today near Vista Chinesa within the Tijuca National Park," Cavaliere wrote in a social media post.
