Certainly! Here’s a spun, concise, and dramatic retelling of your paragraph:

After a powerful earthquake rocked Mexico on Friday, frightened residents near the epicenter gathered in open fields, choosing to sleep outside or in their cars rather than risk staying in their damaged, unstable homes.

But just as they began to recover, disaster struck again—this time from above.

A military helicopter carrying top officials surveying the quake’s aftermath lost control as it attempted to land. In a tragic twist, the aircraft crashed onto vehicles packed with earthquake survivors.

Authorities in Oaxaca reported that 14 people on the ground, including at least three children, were killed, and 21 others were injured. Miraculously, Interior Secretary Alfonso Navarrete, Oaxaca Governor Alejandro Murat, and everyone aboard the helicopter survived with only minor injuries.

Navarrete explained that the Blackhawk helicopter lost control about 100 feet above Jamiltepec, just 20 miles from the quake’s epicenter, as it was preparing to land.

“It’s deeply regrettable this happened,” Navarrete told Televisa news, noting that it was fortunate the loss of life wasn’t even greater.

On Saturday, Defense Secretary Salvador Cienfuegos Zepeda visited Jamiltepec to apologize, pledging that the military would take full responsibility, help rebuild homes, and support the affected community.

If you want it even shorter, more emotional, or with a different tone, just let me know!
