jsolomonster 0 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I was watching "Eyewitness News" this morning when Lori Stokes spoke about the death of Captain Paul Smith, Newscopter 7 pilot, who was mowed down by a NYC taxi cab outside a restaurant in midtown last night. So sad. Here is the story from the NY Daily News: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/2007/10/07/2007-10-07_channel_7_chopper_pilot_killed_by_runawa.html Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/2198-wabc-tv-chopper-pilot-killed-in-midtown-crash/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad 325 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 My God, that is so unbelievable. It didn't catch that story when I watching at Noon, I guess because I tuned in late.. But wow, its just one trauma after another for WABC. My thoughts go out to him and his family. That is devastating and very unexpected. :'( Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/2198-wabc-tv-chopper-pilot-killed-in-midtown-crash/#findComment-21199 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amra 171 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 RIP Captain Paul Smith. May God have you in his friendly skies. BTW, he was always assigned with Shannon Sohn right?

sg9018 10 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 RIP Captain Paul Smith. May God have you in his friendly skies. BTW, he was always assigned with Shannon Sohn right? He also worked with John Delgiorno in the mornings. In fact he rode the chopper on the morning of September 11th. Let him rest in peace.

Geoff150 0 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 A ture shame, I wonder what the reason of the crash was. according to what I heard on the radio, the cab was in the right lane heading straight when a car from the left lane turned right bumping the cab out of control. police have confirmed this thru local surveilance cameras Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/2198-wabc-tv-chopper-pilot-killed-in-midtown-crash/#findComment-21232 Share on other sites More sharing options...
