Paul McCartney Escapes Brush With Death

It has just been revealed that Paul McCartney and his wife Nancy Shevell almost died in a helicopter crash in May this year.

They were traveling in a £5 million ($7.9 million) helicopter when their pilot allegedly became disorientated in poor weather conditions.

The pilot dropped the aircraft to aid his visibility, but almost had a fatal collision with treetops. The pilot then took the helicopter to a nearby airport for a safe landing.

The incident has only just been revealed after the the Department of Transport in the UK decided to investigate. They found that the the helicopter’s altimeter came just two meters from the treetops, and that there was indeed bad weather conditions on the day of the flight.

NME reports that McCartney and his wife were unaware of how close they came to having a fatal crash.
