- @rio_livre_de_helicopteros: "Dear tourists, please don’t go on helicopter tours in Rio. Apart from the risks involved (as this accident tragically illustrates) the noise pollution for residents and for all the animals in the Tijuca Forest National Park is unbearable. Don’t be a part of this. Rio has many hikes, peaks and viewpoints to admire the city from above. You don’t need to be inside a metal can burning fossil fuels to enjoy the city."
