It was an R-44 small single engine heli.
Why is it that police always seem to respond in far greater numbers than needed in situations like this then find themselves huddled up like football players on a field.
Many other emergencies are taking place around the jurisdiction that need coverage
Rip, Chip Tayag and Jason Myers
Airbags and reinforced cage like Nascar for choppers. Prioritize life over profit margins.
SOUTHbound side? Was it a WRONG WAY crash???
God Bless the Pilot & passenger:))
My condolences to the Families
This happened 50 yards away while I was driving my work truck it's on my job cam horrible event I'm still shaking can't get it off mind
Rest in peace
RIPπ
It will be at least a year before the NTSB releases their findings on the crash..I suspect the families of the two victims will likely file wrongful death lawsuits against Robinson Choppers, the manufacturer. The Robinson-44 helicopter has been a well-documented death trap over the past 40 years. It leads the list of most fatal accidents out of any commercial helicopter for every 100,000 flight hours.
What's going on with these helicopter
Just got back from work off this interstate. Prayers and condolences to families of the victimsππΎ
You know the lesson I saw is I don't trust everybody how people turn disaster.
How many weeks do people need to try to get ahold of the proper people to prevent theee accidents
See nobody is listening abt these accidents they are ignoring safety issues being brought up since 2018
That's some secret agent type stuff !
Why was he in helicopter in first placeπ€
all those cars for a helicopter and two people. bout as much as a car chase….
makes no sense. what happened to dont waste police time, they could be helping someone else???
Legacy media trying to figure out how to pin the on republican..
Rip to both
I want to know year make and model.
Always know the hours on your rotors. And always examine engine. And oil. Gas. Is it full to get where u go?
The problem here is that they were flying in a pos Robinson.
Heli pilots be like " this never happens" news every weerk…
As gen X gets jobs of higher responsibility, more people die. Blame MTV, 1980.
BOTH rotors have to be working NONSTOP in order for a helicopter to land safely.
An airplane however can land without the motor on.
Kobee
WELL THAT SUCKS !!!
It's a nice sentiment, but there isn't really a thought process of 'oh well, we are going to die but let's avoid killing anyone else'. If you are conscious and have any control you are fighting to the very last millisecond to avoid the crash in the first place. RIP to the crew.
heroic? really?
It says in the Bible that planes will fall out the sky in the last days
RIP Pilot and Passenger.. God Bless !
Sad

I'd normally say something controversial, but this is tough for everyone.
