Last updated: 2020-04-01 00:46A helicopter stationed by the People's Liberation Army in Hong Kong crashed during training in the area of Dalan Country Park in the afternoon (30th) the day before yesterday (31st). It was announced through the Information Services Department that no one was injured. Legislative Council Member Zhu Kaidi questioned the authorities' concealment, and quoted villagers hearing a strange noise from the helicopter near Xiewu Village. Several helicopters flew to the area and were suspected of turning back due to heavy fog. Some people also said that they had been in Jialong Forest yesterday morning. Upon discovering the blockade of the PLA and the police, Zhu questioned the authorities' concealment that there may be dead or wounded at the scene, or non-public materials and military information.
Zhu Kaidi wrote on Facebook last night that eight villagers heard the sound of a helicopter at 5 o'clock the day before yesterday, but the sound disappeared after the strange sound near the back mountain of Xiewu Village. At that time, there was no fog and no fireworks were seen. Helicopters took turns flying to the area, suspecting to turn around due to heavy fog. Zhu also quoted people from the mountain as saying that at 9 am yesterday, near the Jialong Forest Trail in Pat Heung, the PLA and the police were found to have a blockade. I believe that the Hong Kong government was aware of the accident at that time.
In the article, Zhu Kaidi stated that “the cause of the PLA's concealment of the accident for 24 hours could not be determined”, and he suspected that the reasons included “do not want to disclose military information such as military aircraft models, do not want reporters to take uncleaned scenes and photos of the dead and wounded, Non-public items, etc. "

The accident did not involve any residential buildings. Damaged or injured.

Eight villagers who witnessed the incident said that at about five o'clock yesterday, they heard the sound of a helicopter, and then there were some weird noises in the fog in the direction of Xiewu Village, Pat Heung Village. The sound of the helicopter was gone, but there was no smoke due to the heavy fog. Or fire. Afterwards, several PLA helicopters took turns flying in the direction of the back of the mountain, but they turned around for a long time because of heavy fog.
In addition, some people in the mountains said that at about 9 o'clock this morning, they saw PLA and police set up a blockade at the scene near the Jialong Forest Trail in Pat Heung. That is to say, the Hong Kong Government knew of the accident by this morning at the latest.
The reasons for the PLA's concealment of the accident for 24 hours cannot be determined. Possible reasons include: do not want to leak military information such as military aircraft models, do not want reporters to take uncleaned scenes and photos of the dead and wounded, and non-public materials on board.
