The article is talking about a helicopter crash that happened at around 11am Saturday morning in New Zealand.
The New Zealand police say that they believe that four British and two Australian tourists are among the seven people killed in a helicopter crash that happened on the country's South Island at Fox Glacier.  They talk about the crash sight and say that the helicopter crashed into a crevasse at Fox Glacier.  So far rescuer's have found no sign of survivors of the crash, but bad weather is hindering the search.  The police believe that the helicopter is a Eurocopter "Squirrel" that is operated by the local firm called Alpine Adventure.  The police are also working with the two corresponding embassies in order to notify the families that are involved in the crash about their loved ones.  The crash is also being investigated on how and why it happened.
