印度尼西亚一架灭火直升机在南加里曼丹取水时坠入巴里托河：1名印尼籍机组人员遇难、2名外籍机组人员获救
雅加达 — 印度尼西亚国家灾害管理局（BNPB）说，一架参与扑灭森林火灾的直升机11月8日在南加里曼丹省从巴里托河取水时坠入河中，机上3名机组人员中，1名印度尼西亚籍成员遇难，2名外籍成员获救。
失事的是一架欧洲直升机 EC225LP「超级美洲豹」（注册号 VH-HGM），由灾害管理局签约租用，执行投水灭火任务。当地时间约11时58分，它在巴里托·瓜拉县 Kuripan 镇 Tabatan Baru 村附近用吊桶从巴里托河取水后机动时失控坠河，现场居民拍下了坠落过程。两名外籍机组人员很快被当地居民救起；印尼籍直升机降落指挥员 Yayan Supyansuri 一度失踪，其遗体于当天下午被联合搜救队找到，运往南巴里托县 Jenamas。印尼媒体报道，两名获救者是澳大利亚籍的 Michael John Betteridge 与新西兰籍的 Hugh Andrew John Page。
这是印尼数日内的第二起灭火直升机事故。11月4日，一架军用直升机在中加里曼丹省丹戎普廷国家公园附近海域取水灭火时坠毁，印尼军方说机上8人中1人死亡、5人获救。印尼正遭遇十年来最严重的森林火灾，坠机原因仍在调查中。

Indonesian Firefighting Helicopter Crashes into the Barito River in South Kalimantan: One Indonesian Crew Member Killed, Two Foreign Crew Rescued
JAKARTA — An Indonesian firefighting helicopter crashed into the Barito River in South Kalimantan province on November 8 while scooping water, killing one Indonesian crew member and leaving two foreign crew members rescued, the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) said.
The aircraft, an EC225LP Super Puma (registration VH-HGM) chartered by the agency for water-bombing operations, went down at about 11:58 a.m. local time near Tabatan Baru village in Kuripan district, Barito Kuala regency, after losing control during a manoeuvre following a water pickup with its bambi bucket, an incident captured on amateur video. Two foreign crew members were pulled from the river by local residents. The Indonesian crew member, helicopter landing officer Yayan Supyansuri, was initially missing; a joint search team recovered his body on Sunday afternoon and took it to Jenamas in South Barito regency. Indonesian media named the two survivors as Michael John Betteridge of Australia and Hugh Andrew John Page of New Zealand.
It was the second crash involving an Indonesian firefighting helicopter in days. On November 4, a military helicopter crashed into waters off Tanjung Puting National Park in Central Kalimantan during a firefighting mission; the military said one of the eight people on board died and five were rescued. Indonesia is battling its worst forest fires in a decade, and the cause of Sunday's crash is under investigation.
