LA boo boo???  

NBC 4 news helicopter covering a fatal bus crash in Northridge. Helicopter was HOGE at less than 1000' AGL over a dense urban area. The ship was broadcasting live when it might have had an engine failure. The rotor RPM audibly increases and you hear the high RPM horn beeping then you hear the RPM wind down and the low rotor RPM horn activate. Helicopter (Astar B2) came down almost vertically and his the ground. The helicopter was then engulfed in flames. Two dead on board and one ped on the ground killed. 

Stay safe guys. Don't take unnecessary risks. You don't need to "get the shot" that bad with a milliopn dollar camera. Altitude is your friend. Don't become an NTSB report. Prayers for all the families involved.
