The following phrases[1] are identical to or scuffed-up versions of phrases in the UPI article[2].

  • "The SACAA's incident report said the pilot and three human passengers..."
  • "...landed on Bird Island, off the Eastern Cape, on January 19..."
  • "...and a passenger described as a "specialist" placed a penguin from the island in a cardboard box and brought it aboard the aircraft."
  • "The report said the helicopter, which landed on its side,"

The following is near-verbatim (scuffed up):

  • "The passenger occupying the left front seat of the helicopter put the box on his lap, but he lost his grip on it just after take-off and the box slid into the pilot's cyclic pitch control lever as the helicopter was approximately 15m above the ground. The lever was pushed to the far-right position, causing the helicopter to roll to the right."

I propose the following correction statement be posted after the plagiarism is removed:

This article previously included copyrighted material copied from a source. The content has been removed. Wikinews regrets the oversight.

The reviewer previously identified 90% copyrighted material, which I believe warranted deletion and a fresh start by the author.
