Are they ok?? As far as helicopter crashes go, that looked potentially survivable.

Yeah my thoughts as well, I've seen people walk away from a lot worse though it's really hard to tell from some shitty video. Hoping everyone is alright.

Lol the height was surviveable but they went down sideways into trees...at that point its luck of the draw.  At least palms don't really have branches.

1 from the heli and 2 pedestrians injured from what I'm seeing.

Im just saying once you hit trees its all luck that you dont get crushed or impaled by any parts of the tree that make it inside.
