10 Years After ‘Dropped’ Helicopter Crash, Justice Remains Elusive

The 2015 collision that killed 10, including French sports stars, continues to leave families seeking accountability as legal proceedings stall.

  • On March 9, 2015, two helicopters collided during the filming of the reality show 'Dropped' in Argentina, killing 10 people, including athletes Florence Arthaud, Camille Muffat, and Alexis Vastine.
  • The crash occurred shortly after takeoff in Villa Castelli, with investigations pointing to pilot training deficiencies and planning failures as contributing factors.
  • Despite a Paris prosecutor's investigation into 'involuntary manslaughter' and charges against five production employees, no trial has taken place a decade later.
  • Families of the victims continue to push for accountability, expressing frustration over the prolonged legal delays and lack of resolution.
  • Survivors and witnesses, including athlete Alain Bernard, reflect on the enduring emotional impact of the tragedy and the loss of their colleagues.
