Swiss PC-7 Clips Camera Cable is St Moritz

Post by sjnovis » Fri Feb 17, 2017 4:37 pm

The second run of the men's Giant Slalom at the Alpine Ski World Championships in St Moritz is delayed after a military air display plane clipped a cable, causing a camera to drop onto the course.

Looking at the video it looks like the a/c didn't actually hit the cable, looks more like the air turbulence shook the camera off. Any statement from the Swiss Air Force on the incident?

Close call all the same though.
