It appears that it's WBTV's helicopter, but no word has come out from WBTV themselves or the other Charlotte stations. https://twitter.com/JoshuAguirre/status/1595104221422145537?t=p_uyZ3zXRFIIVbnqUeE2_g&s=19 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/19280-chopper-crash-in-charlotte/#findComment-280056 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRob 938 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 The witnesses say it appeared the pilot banked as hard as possible to avoid crashing on the highway itself.

kshow 167 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Seems as if WBTV isn't going to officially announce it's their aircraft until station management contacts the family of the deceased.

WAVY 10 Fan 233 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 What a devastating loss for the Tayag and Myers families as well as their WBTV colleagues, especially entering the holidays. Also agree in commending Chip Tayag for doing all he could to avoid this potentially being a much worse tragedy than it already is.
