This was an incredible story, and most helicopter crash victims don’t fare nearly so well. The pilot’s skill must have been extraordinary, with from the location perhaps a touch of divine protection as well…

Good news indeed that nobody died.

I'm a bit fascinated by the church building. It is very like the substantial churches built in Australian rural towns made prosperous by the gold rushes of 1823-1896.

I look at those pictures and chopper seems to have missed the power lines and poles as well. The pilot turned catastrophe into a very rough landing missing poles, lines and buildings in fell swoop.

Nothing like any of those. More like this old Presbyterian church in Bathurst, NSW, a town dating back to the gold rush at nearby Hill End.
