Helicopter Crash-Lands Inches From Michigan Restaurant Diners, Minor Injuries Reported

A helicopter crash-landed just feet away from a lakeside restaurant in Michigan today, causing panic among diners but miraculously resulting in only minor injuries. The incident, captured on video by an eyewitness, shows a red helicopter losing control and impacting the ground near the outdoor seating area of the establishment. Eyewitnesses described the terrifying moment as the aircraft flipped and crashed, kicking up a significant cloud of dust. "GET DOWN!" one person was heard shouting in the video as the helicopter descended rapidly. Diners quickly reacted, with many seen running from their tables to seek safety. Despite the dramatic nature of the crash, authorities reported that only minor injuries were sustained. The quick response of those present and the fortunate outcome prevented a potentially far more serious tragedy. Investigations into the cause of the helicopter's malfunction are expected to follow.
