At least two dead in news helicopter crash in Phoenix
July 27, 2007
PHOENIX (AP) -- Two helicopters collided in midair and crashed while covering a police pursuit in central Phoenix Friday afternoon, killing at least two people.
Both helicopters were news choppers from local television stations.
KNXV-TV Channel 15 reported that one of the choppers belonged to the station. The other chopper was from KTVK Channel 3 in Phoenix.
Andy McKinney, assignment editor at KTVK Channel 3 in Phoenix confirmed that one of their news helicopters was involved in the crash.
Channel 3 reported that both the pilot and photographer were killed in the crash.
Channel 15 has not reported the status of its crew.
Both helicopters crashed into Steele Indian School Park in Central Phoenix and caught fire.
The helicopters were covering the police pursuit of a work truck. Just before the midair collision, the driver had jumped out of the nearly disabled flatbed pickup and carjacked another truck.
News choppers from other television stations were also in the area.
Channel 3's signal suddenly went black, and within a minute other stations began reporting news of the crash.
The two choppers came down on the grass lawn in front of a boarded up church at the park, site of an old Indian school. Firefighters swarmed to the area as thick black smoke rose from the scene.
Witness Mary Lewis said she was stuck in traffic with her four grandsons and was watching the helicopters, turned to talk to the children, and then saw a fireball in the air when she looked again.
"I looked up and I see this 'boom' and I see one of the helicopters coming down, and I said 'Oh my God,'" Lewis said. she said she went to the crash site to help, but there was nothing she could do.
"It's nothing there," Lewis said. "Just burned up stuff."
