The video shows former Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyuruppa’s helicopter being forced to abort landing at the last minute in Kalaburgi on Monday. When the pilot comes in to land, suddenly dust and discarded plastic bags start flying around in the air at the helipad. The pilot then quickly ascends again to get out of trouble as his visibility gets reduced and he cannot see the ground clearly.
