PASSEY, France — A daring helicopter rescue in France was caught on video.
A helicopter dispatched to help an injured skier on the French Alps made a partial landing on a steep slope. It was so steep that the helicopter's nose wedged into the snow as its rotors fly within inches of the mountainside.
