Footage of the terrifying helicopter crash during the filming of the TV series 'Dropped' has emerged overnight in what is the worst accident in the history of reality TV.
As seen in the video, the two helicopters collided in the mountains of La Rioja Province in Argentina, tragically killing three sports stars, five French TV crew and the two Argentine pilots.
Champion Sailor Florence Arthaud, 57, Olympic gold medallist swimmer Camille Muffat, 25, and Olympic boxer Alexis Vastine, 28, were among the ten killed. The death of Vastine comes just two months after his sister was killed in a car crash, aged 21.
French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said, "The Whole of France is mourning."
Dropped involved eight stars being dropped into varying, hostile environments similar to Bear Grylls or “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here”.
