A Russian Mi8 helicopter had just dropped off relief supplies to people in Aleppo. On their way back to their airbase, the copter was intercepted by rebel gunners who managed to bring the helicopter down.
There were survivors of the crash: 3 crew and 2 Russians military officials died.
To make things worse, as townfolk and rebel fighters ascended on the crash site they managed to pull the dead bodies of 2 crew members out and began jumping on one corpse before dragging the dead man through the sand to put his body into a pickup truck.
I've seen alot of the video and photo coverage of the crash and am presuming that the other 3 persons on the helicopter burned in the crash.
