"When a so-called gyrocopter crashed on Wednesday in Hildesheim, two men died. The accident apparently occurred because parts of the aircraft had come loose in the air.
A police spokesman said the gyroplane was just about to land at Hildesheim airfield. According to the latest findings, individual parts are said to have dissolved in the air... The gyroplane fell from a height of about 50 meters about 400 meters from the airport near a logistics center. The gyrocopter "fell like a stone from the sky," said witnesses. The emergency services found a 60-year-old from Hildesheim and a 53-year-old from Oldendorf in the Stade district in the rubble. Both were dead. There were no injuries or other damage on the ground, said the police spokesman."

The deceased instructor was Germany's first gyrocopter instructor, and had 15,000 hours.
