I'm surprised no one's mentioned this here yet... here's a generic AP version of the story
it's very surreal, 3TVs been covering this thing for hours and hours, no comercial breaks, not regular programming, nothing but talking about the poor guys who died in the crash and every possible angle you can think of the news anchors covering it were either choked up or actually crying off and on, and all the reporters and other photographers being interviewed (3TV was interviewing their own people) were breaking down as they talked about the two 3TV people I guess it's getting alot of national coverage too |

I watched it earlier on both local and national news. It's pretty sad indeed. |

I was outside eating lunch when it happened. The noise the crash made was unbelievable. I've been a little shocked about it since then. I'm just so amazed that they crashed over a park instead of a residential community. This is horrible news, but it could have been much worse....kids are home for summer vacation. |

I know, they could have slammed into a building or house, or anything really, but they both fell into the middle of the park so thankfully it wasn't worse than it was |

The crash from inside of 15's helicopter. (Just a warning, you can actually hear the pilot scream. Not a good watch for the squeamish.) You can tell he knew something was wrong just before the feed went out. Too late to do anything about it. From watching all the observations and what video there is, it looks like 15 ran into 3. 3 didn't even know what happened. |

last I heard that is a possibility that they could charge him in some reguard to the crash and I don't know the paint jobs of the helicopters, but I remember seeing a guy interviewed on channel 3 who said he saw a white helicopter stationary, and then a blue one swing around and hit the white one so whichever of the two was blue on the underside was the channel's helicopter that swung around and somehow it's tail got too close to the other's and then the rest is history just really aweful, that video is even worse if you listen to the last few seconds before the audio from the helicopter fades out :cry2: |

That's a bunch of bullshit if they try that. I think its just the angry media speculating about shit they don't understand. They could charge him if his driving caused someone to die, or if it was a police helicopter that crashed because it was doing its duty by trailing the guy. But news helicopters are chasing him because they CHOOSE to do so. They are trying to get the story so they can boost their ratings. You can't charge the guy for that, its totally not his fault. Blame the news stations who send their guys out there, blame the dumbass pilot, but you can't blame the guy driving the car. |

Agreed. If anyone is to blame here, it is the pilots who crashed, the driver on the ground had nothing to do with it. |
