A helicopter carrying a team filming for an MTV reality show has crashed in western Argentina, killing at least two people.
The Bell 206 helicopter crashed on Saturday as it flew over the reservoir at Potrerillos de Mendoza dam about 1000km northwest of Buenos Aires, Gianni Vernier, security minister for
Mendoza province, told the state news agency Telam.
Vernier said the pilot and a technician died, but it was not immediately known if other people were in the helicopter.
Searchers were trying to reach the wreckage, which was 60 metres below the surface, he said.
It was the second deadly helicopter accident this year in Argentina involving a reality show.
