Police have revealed that a helicopter crash that went completely out of control landed near a Michigan lake on Sunday, leaving a cloud of dust and debris in the air near a popular waterfront restaurant.
According to multiple reports, the incident left diners at the restaurant terrified as many of them failed to see the unfortunate crash coming.
As seen in a video published by Click On Detroit, the chopper was trying to land in a vacant lot beside the Cabana Blue restaurant near Lake St. Clair when it tipped forward and spun wildly.

The tail reportedly tilted upwards as the propellers kept spinning, and it eventually sent the helicopter on its side.
Then, the propellers, still spinning, kicked clouds of dirt and debris right onto the restaurant where the diners were seated.
For now, reports indicate that no injuries have been sustained after the helicopter crash in Michigan, but it had many diners terrified as they ran towards safety in the opposite direction of the accident.
According to the Clay Thompson Police, the helicopter was privately owned, and cops are looking into the matter to see why and how the unfortunate incident came about.
