Ronnie Moodley says there were was a loud bang upon the chopper crash. "I thought I heard the helicopter make a funny noise and then I saw it spinning down. Then I heard a loud noise and it fell into the water. I saw I smoking, then the engine stopped and it came down fast."
Feroza Shaiksuleman - who lives near the crash site - say she was in fear seeing everything unfold before her eyes. " It made me feel sad to see all this. I was scared for my children and granddaughter."
Durban Resident, Derrick Maurice says initially it was in a smaller position.
"It was going around. It was spinning round and round because the taleprop was not keeping it stable. The tale went up in the air and it came directly down into the ground. I have never seen something like this in my life but there was no big explosion when it hit the ground."
