Stolen helicopter crashes into hotel roof in Australian resort city of Cairns, killing pilot

Poor Cairns has had more than its share of grief in the past year.

Some reports saying it was unauthorized use of the helicopter. Two elderly hotel guests hospitalized but not serious injuries.

A change from the "croc. eats man " headline we expect from North Qld.

Well, for the most part, everything turned out fine

Fine, yes, except for the death of the pilot, loss of helicopter, hospitalization of guests and possible loss of integrity of a whole hotel.
