BREAKING TV-5 Chopper down

Imagine reporting from another news helicopter….

Can't drones with cameras replace helicopters?

@SfvScanner No, NBC.

STAY TF OUT OF HELICOPTERS. It’s like playing Russian roulette

Why does LA use so many helicopters anyway

@SfvScanner NBC 4 HELI. CONFIRMED BY FLIGHT RADAR PLAYBACK. DROPPED 1000FT IN LESS THAN 3 SECONDS. APPEARS TO MOST LIKELY A COMPLETE GEARBOX FAILURE.

Reporting on a news chopper crash and kill from a news chopper is wild work

Is it NBC

Is Eliana Moreno ok?

NBC 4 is saying they are not able to contact their news chopper

Ch 4 helicopter there was a woman reporters voice before it went down

Imagine going work.. being told to go cover a fatal car crash and as ur doing that watching ppl that have died in that crash the helicopter ur in loses control crash and burns…so even if ur alive u burn to death… like wtf… rip to everyone involved soooo sad

The person being dragged was confirmed dead.. it was a pedestrian.. and they said 3 ppl pulled from the helicopter with injuries…no reports of anyone dead on board the helicopter

Poor souls, rip. Hope no civilians on the ground got harm.

Odds are news station budget cuts took the lives of those onboard the helicopter. I’m no pilot, but the audio onboard the helicopter sounded as if they simply ran out of fuel, and the propeller immediately stopped spinning. Whatever was the cause was they had zero warning.

Reason 456 on why not to ever fly in helicopters

It was NBC 4 chopper, not tv 5

You can hear it in his voice, he knows it's his counterpart. He knows 1000%

you couldn’t pay me enough money to get on a helicopter to report on the live scene of another helicopter crash

Crazy place

Dear God

KTLA and KNBC helicopters owned by the same company and the pilots are colleagues.

You need to be more cautious of spreading false news.. N358TV is down, which belongs to KNBC 4

When the news becomes the news. Wow.

@SfvScanner 5? They just said 4

Everybody's ignoring the body they're dragging away from the scene.

@SfvScanner This is awful 😞

It is TV-4

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

At least they're putting water on it... oh wait no

Firefighters are sometimes not very helpful in saving lives or property right away. It takes a gazillion minutes to unwind the hoses and put out the fire, while a water tanker could do it in seconds. Pure incompetence.

Helicopters are terrible to have the aerodynamics of a Coke machine you're never really flying it you're constantly trying to prevent it from crashing.

Heartbreaking

I don't see a fire truck or any water being sprayed at this fire. What's going on?
