Bikini-clad Kate brings chopper down

London: A US marine crew is being questioned after allegedly crashing its helicopter while trying to catch a glimpse of actress Kate Hudson in a swimsuit.

According to contactmusic.com, Hudson was wearing a swimsuit, diamond collar and high heels on the set of You, Me and Dupree in California.

A chopper flew by low overhead before it crashed a few metres away.

Hudson said: "We heard this huge crash. A sort of huge plywood thing came falling on to my car from a rooftop. Then the cops were there and the Marines were there and I am in this outfit."

"I realised what I was wearing and I said, 'I am sorry, can someone get me a robe?'"
