NEW DELHI: A video shot just a few seconds before the IAF’s Mi-17 chopper crash that killed Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) Bipin Rawat, 13 others near Coonoor in Tamil Nadu has surfaced on Thursday.

The 20-second video shows the IAF’s Mi-17 chopper roaring into the skies and heading towards Wellington just seconds before it crashed. In the video, a group of locals passing through the forest at the same time can be seen wondering over the loud sound of the air crash that just a few seconds later. Twitter users claimed that this is the same Mi-17 chopper that was carrying CDS Rawat, however, there is no official confirmation yet on this video.
