Wait what, helicopter crashes in Rio?? That’s so random 😞
I saw the headline and honestly I thought it was like a publicity stunt at first. Two helicopters collided?? over Rio?? Man that electric vehicle dealership lot is wild, like how does that even happen.
So he was doing the “World’s First World Tour” thing and then gets taken out by… midair collision. Feels like the tour schedule is cursed or something. Also why were they flying over that area near a dealership lot? Doesn’t add up to me.
This is heartbreaking. I remember his songs but I didn’t realize he was in Brazil that week. They said June 14 but I feel like I already saw a post like days ago?? And I’m confused—did one helicopter hit the dealership first or did they collide first? Either way seems like bad air control or pilot error, but who knows.
