10 killed as helicopters collide. Among them three french olympians:

Camille Muffat, 25 year old, gold in 400 m freestyle in London

Alexis Vastine, 28 years old, bronze in beijing for welterweight boxing

Florence Arthaud, 57, won the 1990 Route du Rhum solo atlantic race


Helicopters collided during filming for a TV show called "Dropped". They get dropped off somewhere remote and are filmed whilst finding food and shelter. The others killed were the pilots and the production staff.
