Terrifying moment helicopter crashes shortly after taking off in Colombia as pilot, copilot and four passengers - including an American - miraculously survive

Dramatic video footage captured the moment a helicopter crashed after it took off from a restaurant's helipad in Medellin, Colombia, Monday.

The pilot, copilot and four passengers, including a United States-Colombia dual citizen, survived. 

One of the passengers was rushed to a local hospital and treated for a left leg fracture and lacerations to the body.

Cell phone video footage showed the Bell 206 helicopter departing for a tourist flight when it suddenly started to spin out of control. It then came crashing down and hanging perilously from the side of a building.  

A helicopter transporting tourists from Hangar 45 restaurant to a local airport in Medellín, Colombia, crashed Monday afternoon just seconds after it took off from the building's helipad.

The helicopter was pinned between the side of a building and an antenna moments after it crashed

Luisa Osorio and her American boyfriend Francisco Salas told Noticias Caracol that they joined the flight to record content for social media networks to promote her singing career and his YouTube channel and thought they were not going to make it out alive.

'We got on. Literally when it was elevating it couldn't do it completely,' Osorio said. 'It started to spin, to spin very quickly and we said, 'We are going to die here.''

Osorio recalled they were instructed by the rescuers 'not to move, absolutely don't to anything, don't even breathe' as they worked on pulling them out.

Salas called his parents back home in the United States to bid farewell because he thought they were about to die.

'I had my phone and I spoke to my mother,' he said. 'I dialed them and had a video chat with them. I said goodbye. Even my brother. And it was a very serious moment. I just wanted to say goodbye and say thank you to everyone.'

The aircraft plummeted and crashed into the side of a building, where it got pinned between the structure and an antenna.

A second video showed the pilot climbing out of the helicopter and holding onto a ladder affixed to the antenna.

Residents rushed to the scene and helped the occupants to safety.

Dangling high up in the air, somehow, everyone on board managed to get out and survive. One of the passengers suffered a leg fracture

The pilot, copilot and four passengers, including an American who holds Colombian citizenship, survived 

The Medellín Fire Department used several cranes to remove the helicopter from the site early Tuesday morning.

The helicopter flight is part of a dining experience offered by Hangar 45, a restaurant located in the Medellín neighborhood of Manrique.

Customers are charged about $887 for a 12 to 15 minute flight from Olaya Herrera Airport to the restaurant, where they are greeted with a cocktail.

All helicopter flights have been suspended as authorities investigate the cause of the crash.
