A medical helicopter crashed on the rooftop of a New Mexico hospital on Wednesday night, the New York Daily News reported.
Luckily no patients were aboard at the time of the wreck at the University of New Mexico Hospital, which occurred around 6 p.m. The three people in the helicopter were able to escape serious injury, the Daily News said.
The floors below the helipad were evacuated after the crash as firefighters responded to the scene, spraying the roof with water.
A witness told local media that the helicopter was attempting to take off when it began to wobble, tumbling onto the roof. It then erupted into flames and smoke, prompting the sprinkler system to go off.

"It just blew up instantly," witness Chris McColgan told The Seattle Times. "The crazy thing is, the movies get it exactly right. It's that big ... It felt like a movie. It still feels like a movie.."
