THE STORY
Circumstances
While landing near Lichtenau-Henglarn, a helicopter of the "Rheinland" squadron hit a tree with a rotor blade. The co-pilot and three SEK (Special Operations Command) officers who had been transported in the helicopter were able to free themselves from the vehicle, some of them seriously injured. The pilot, colleague Rolf Kegel, dies in the helicopter, which catches fire within seconds.
