SANTIAGO, CHILE: A helicopter working for an MTV reality show crashed in western Argentina on Saturday and both people on board were killed, local authorities said. The Bell 206 helicopter crashed as it flew over the reservoir at Potrerillos de Mendoza dam about 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) northwest of Buenos Aires, Gianni Vernier, security minister for Mendoza province, told the state news agency Telam. Vernier said the pilot and a technician died. Searchers were unable to retrieve the bodies Saturday because the wreckage was 60 meters (nearly 200 feet) below the surface, Telam said.
