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
AaronQ 282 Posted November 22, 2022 Posted November 22, 2022 And the Charlotte Observer confirmed that it's WBTV's helicopter that's crashed.
TheRob 938 Posted November 22, 2022 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 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.
CircleSeven 1960 Posted November 22, 2022 Posted November 22, 2022 At 3:08pm, WBTV announced on air the deaths of Meteorologist Jason Myers & pilot Chip Tayag.
WAVY 10 Fan 233 Posted November 22, 2022 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.
MidwestTV 1236 Posted November 22, 2022 Posted November 22, 2022 Not sure about Tayag, but Myers was a father of four.
Megatron81 278 Posted November 28, 2022 Posted November 28, 2022 My heart and prayers to the families of the victims so very sad.
