Yeah, here's the GRAPHIC SHOCK video.

After watching it, you will be wondering what was so graphic and shocking about it. The only thing captivating is the suspense of the supposedly graphic nature of the video. And tragedy of hearing their last words. Other than that, it's actually kind of boring.

Yeah, you could hear, “Oh, Gezzz” and that’s about it.

Do you have a link to the follow up story?

Whoops... I thought I was watching another incident.

Not good. It sounded after, “oh gezz” you could hear either an alarm or it was the chopper turbine engine...Probably after rotor was sheared.

What is clear after watching the video is the pilot saw the other chopper coming just one second prior to impact. Very sad.

News choppers are supposed to coordinate between each other, orbit the same direction, at different altitudes etc. Someone obviously did not do that.

It was probably a rush to get to the news scene and capture the video...And at least one of the pilots unfortunately didn't follow protocol.
