Helicopter crashes in Arizona while filming segment for Korean Top Gear

Amazingly, both the pilot and the camera person escaped the incident relatively unharmed. CNN reports that the pair credit their survival to the thick exterior of the retired military chopper. Hit the jump to watch the video of the actual crash.
