A Government Flying Service helicopter was forced to make a “controlled emergency landing” on Monday in Shing Mun Reservoir in the mountains above the Kowloon Peninsula, in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, after one of its engines failed and it took on water during a firefighting drill. All three members of the Super Puma helicopter’s crew managed to swim ashore.[Photo by Chen Xiaowei/Xinhhua]
