A former Russian biathlon star-turned pilot and two wealthy Russian tourists on a £4,250 sightseeing trip were killed in a helicopter crash on Saturday, before being dragged away and gnawed by bears, according to reports.

Ex-sportsman Igor Malinovskii, 25, was piloting a Robinson helicopter in the popular tourist region of Kamchatka when it came down on July 16.

Communications were lost with the helicopter due to bad weather.

It is believed to have caught fire as it crashed the the ground.

Rescuers found the charred remains of the helicopter named Nadezhda, or Hope in the Valley of the Geysers in the Kamchatka peninsula, in the far east of Russia.

The wreckage was discovered on July 17, a day after the crash, and some eight miles away from the Uzon volcano.

Pictures showed mangled metal and scorched earth at the site where the helicopter crashed.

Ex-sportsman Igor Malinovskii (pictured), was piloting a Robinson helicopter in the popular tourist region of Kamchatka when it came down on Saturday, July 16.

The two passengers on the elite tourist trip were named as well-known businesswoman Zoya Kaygorodova, in her mid-30s, and Sergey Kolesnyak, a mobile phone company executive at company Tele2.

'The remains of dead tourists after the crash of the Robinson helicopter in Kamchatka were dragged away by bears.'

Human remains were reported to have been found away from the crash site.

The tourists were on a £4,250 trip to Kamchatka, a bear-infested peninsula famous for volcanoes, geysers and glaciers, and its picturesque landscape.


The region has one of the highest density of brown bears on the planet, with an estimated 10,000 to 14,000 of the predators living in the peninsula, which is about the same size as California.

Kaygorodova had organised the trip.

Kamchatka Territory's Governor Vladimir Solodiv confirmed the crash.

Now that Bear has more wealth in it's stomach than some states in Nigeria.

R.I.P to the dead.

Next time I hear "must you eat everything?" On this forum, Amadioha will strike the person into 3 places.

Don't mind him. A lot of them has zero sense.

There should be guns in every helicopter in case something like that happens again.


A billionaire should have a licensed pistol or short gun.

sadly, expecting a wild animal not to eat them, would be the most crazy thing here. wild animals would be wild animals, whether we like it or not.

what a horrible way to die.

May they rot in hell. Death to all Russians. May Ayelala and Amadioha strike Putin. May the Russians encountered what happened to the Egyptians when the Israelites were crossing the red sea, the entire Russia shall be wiped out from the earth, so shall it be.

Haaaaa... I'm short of words,its an unpleasant way to die...

I dey tell you

Q

Rip to them.

Please help us join your voices to end this callous hike in the cost of obtaining Police Character Certificate in Nigeria. A PCC with 3 months validity shouldn't cost more than an international passport with 5 years validity. They want to frustrate the dreams of youths who wish to travel abroad for study or work but we will not allow them.
