Interesting...Joe Scarborough is speculating (aka known as fact in the MSM) the chopper "may" have been shot down...
Every time I think I can't despise them more...
Presser saying its a private copter? cuts and bruises..crashed at 6:55
Maybe YOU ought to get out using thinly disguised gutter profanity.
Yeah, I saw a bit of that. Scarborough, honestly sickens me. He is RFK Junior's personal a$$ kisser. It's like he has a crush on Bobby Jr. MSNBC hired Scarborough for a reason-- he is a RINO who loves to stick the shiv in the back of other Republicas.
WWL is saying it was a civi helicopter. The two people on board are fine but with cuts and bruises... They say the helicopter came down hard, rolled over, broke the blades and the tail. They don't know why they were there yet or why the helicopter crashed. It was near that Danzigger bridge thingie over the canal... Looks like the Freepers who said it was a civi heli, cause of the "N" were correct. Peace.
Don't forget all those overhead wires everywhere. Very dangerous to helicopter ops.
Now saying Helo may be civilian. Coast Guard says not theirs.....
Yep, Scarborough just got the report that it is a civilian aircraft.
<plonk>
Scarborough has been an absolute disgrace this past week.
Not just him...I think the whole media has been.
Civilian helicopter ....down by Daninger Bridge...shot down?
per Scarborough
They just babble on and on........and........on and on..........
Scaramouche!!
They are now saying it is a civilian helicopter. Joe should STFU.
Joe can go to hell as far as I'm concerned
I REFUSE to watch his show anymore .. he brings the worse out of me ... I haven't cursed this much at the TV in years
We mechs used go as crew up in them after they came out of check to shoot auto-rotations, just for fun.
( the pilots kinda liked it too, as they figured if we
were willing to go after working on them, they were
probably ok.)
Go to altitude, free the rotor drop like a stone
and wind the rotor up then engage the pitch at the bottom
to slow you down, kind of an emergency manouver.
Quite exciting when you're 19.
We used to sing this song as we dropped.
"We are sinking DEEEP in SIN!!!!
"Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
No, he didn't say it was shot down.
Hey.. I know you are not the only one, but there are alot of ladies on board here.
