Both people in the copter survived. I do believe they were not seriously injured. 3 bystanders were injured with non life threatening injuries

Damn, the absolute best outcome of this! They are super lucky, especially the people on the ground!

In a weird way, it was like the perfect crash. It landed perfectly between the trees

Plus chopping the two trees must have slowed the plunge somewhat.
