Sky9's Hard Landing

[Geoffrey 873]

Engine failure reportedly to blame and the back of its tail snapped off. Picture here: http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2010/11/12/sky-2-makes-hard-landing/

 

Wonder if it was a missile.

Haha, not a missile. I stopped by the airport a few minutes after it happened and they were all okay. Engine failure unfortunately does happen to these kinds of helicopters, it's just a matter of when. That helicopter is only six years old too...

Wow, I'm glad to hear they're alright.

 

Covering news via a helicopter sure is a tough job.

Seems like it, but the hardest working guy up there is the photog. But they are always having a great time up there!
