Cobra crash filming Top Gear Korea...

Wow! Glad the pilots are ok! On a side note, looks like they, just like the American Top Gear, are just copying the same story lines as the British version!
 
That actually happened a year or so ago -- not sure why it is news again, except that I think that episode must have recently aired (given the finished footage of the incident).
