It’s all over the news here. They were filming a police chase and crossed over each others path.
Was watching this on Fox. Looked awful. Prayers for the families of those killed.

Well - no film at 11:00, I guess.
Local radio was carrying audio from Fox. Really too tragic. Prayers for the crews and their families.
MSNBC has it on now.
Its time we ban news organizations from broadcasting police chases live in my opinion. I’ve been waiting for something like this to happen over a Los Angeles freeway since OJ’s infamous slow speed chase.
When it gets to the point the west coasters start viewing it as a ‘snow day’ its time to put an end to it.
Prayers for the families.
It was just a matter of time. I see the newshogs converging some mornings on the latest car crash on the PA Turnpike and wonder when their redundant coverage of news would lead to a collision.
The surprise here is, that something like this has not happened a lot more often already.
Mobility and speed at getting to the site of a breaking story sometimes leads to a sparring competition even as the various reporting agencies approach.
It’s Bush’s fault — or global warming — I’m not sure which.
You really want to put an end to news helicopters, violence and smut, etc. on TV. Simple. Turn it off!!! (and get others to do to the same)
Were either of the pilots Muslim? Waitn for I.D. before believing the ‘Accident’ angle.
I am watching the fox news feed out of PHX. and an eyewitness stated that one helo was having control problems and the tail rotors collided. They crashed by the VA hosp. there in PHX.
Prayers for ALL involved!
Looks like your post was Breaking News.

Watch it before they edit it!
This is a classic case of not seeing the forest for the trees.
