That seems like a drastic solution. Perhaps some collision avoidance technology could alert the pilots when they are too close together or on a collision course.
Its time we ban news organizations from broadcasting police chases live in my opinion.

I know, it does seem drastic. Will it seem ‘drastic’ if this happened again, only over a rush hour stopped interstate?
Its going to happen eventually, its a statistical certainty.
Problem with collision avoidance stuff is that it’s really just proximity detectors and these guys get really close to each other doing this stuff, they’d just turn it off. As for it being drastic remember the cops tend to send up a helicopter too, what happens if instead of two reporter choppers smacking into each other it’s a reporter hitting the cops, killing the cops and letting the bad guys get away. There should be a no fly zone of 1 mile around any police chopper participation in a pursuit. Really the coverage of these chases live is sick anyway, it’s just blood lust there’s no actual news reporting, it was a bad hobby when it started with the whole OJ thing and it’s time for it to wind up on the ash heap of history.
