People who live near the scene reported hearing a loud explosion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were conflicting reports about the type of helicopter involved, but officials said it was flying to San Carlos, the capital of Cojedes state. President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro visited the city on Saturday to witness military exercises, though it&#8217;s unclear if the helicopter was due to take part in them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A total of 7 people, including 4 soldiers and 3 passengers, were on board the helicopter, which was reported to have been completely destroyed in a fire after the crash. Several bodies were recovered on Saturday afternoon and there are no survivors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cause of Saturday&#8217;s accident was not immediately known. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/bnonews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/2019OripotoCaracasVenezuela.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bnonews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/2019OripotoCaracasVenezuela.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/bnonews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/2019OripotoCaracasVenezuela-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bnonews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/2019OripotoCaracasVenezuela-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bnonews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/2019OripotoCaracasVenezuela-590x354.jpg 590w, https:\/\/bnonews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/2019OripotoCaracasVenezuela-400x240.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>Location of Oripoto in the El Hatillo Municipality of Caracas (Credit: Google)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/bnonews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/542019HelicopterCrash.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bnonews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/542019HelicopterCrash.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/bnonews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/542019HelicopterCrash-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bnonews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/542019HelicopterCrash-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bnonews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/542019HelicopterCrash-590x354.jpg 590w, https:\/\/bnonews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/542019HelicopterCrash-400x240.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>Near the scene of the crash (Credit: VIVOplay)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A military helicopter has crashed on the outskirts of the Venezuelan capital Caracas, killing all seven people on board, local officials say.
