Eurocopter AS 332L2 Super Puma Mk2 crash near Sierra Bermeja, Málaga, Andalusia, Spain

The Super Puma was working the Sierra Bermeja fire when it was asked to carry nineteen members of two forest brigades to a point in the mountains from which to attack the blaze. Twenty-one people were aboard including the two crew. During the landing the main rotor blades struck a tree, breaking and damaging them. Everyone aboard was unhurt, but the wildfire subsequently reached the helicopter and destroyed it completely. The investigation concluded the cause was continuing the landing manoeuvre without adequate lateral visual references. Final report A-042/2021.
