A helicopter has crashed into the roof of a Cairns hotel, sparking a massive fireball and the evacuation of up to 400 people.
Emergency services were called to the Double Tree Hotel by Hilton about 1.50am to reports of an aviation incident.
A bystander said the helicopter was going incredibly fast before it crashed into the hotel.
“It looked like it was being driven like a racing car at full speed or like a dive bomber… Small helicopter,” they wrote on social media.
At least it’s not a (7/10) plane crash…🤔
