Antti Marjanen, who lives in the close village of Kauttua, told the Finnish information agency Iltalehti that he saw 2 helicopters flying from Säkylä direction.

"I looked at them with admiration due to the fact that you seldom see specified planes," he added. As he said, a fewer moments later, he witnessed 1 of the machines execute an escape and collided with the other. "One fell like a rock, the another slowly. I didn't hear any sound," Marjanen said. According to Finnish media, FlightRadar24 data shows that 2 helicopters flew from Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. They took off at the same time, the eventual goal is not clear.
