ALBEMARLE COUNTY, Va. (NEWSPLEX) — The National Transportation Safety Board has issued an update on the fatal helicopter crash that killed two Virginia State Police troopers on Saturday.
According to the statement released Monday afternoon, the helicopter was providing a continuous video feed of activities on the ground during the Unite the Right rally, along with several other helicopters.
The helicopter had left from the Charlottesville Albemarle Airport just before 4 p.m. and was in the downtown area until about 4:45 p.m. when it was redirected to provide support for a motorcade that was transporting Governor Terry McAuliffe.
According to a release, the helicopter was heading north-northeast at an altitude of 2,300 feet shortly before the crash.
The first call to emergency services regarding the crash was received around 4:45 p.m. when the helicopter went down about seven miles southwest of CHO.

Why do other articles claim here was no distress call, when this article says there were emergency calls?

What time did the car incident happen?
“Killed along with him was State Police Lieutenant H. Jay Cullen, 48. They had just returned from dropping off Governor Terry McAuliffe, Bates’ father Robert Bates said, when they were asked to surveil the violence on the ground.”
sorry people...this is the very last coincidence for me...Governor Terry...unhinged Lib McAuliffe....the 2 guys who drop him off and then fly off to their death?....either the Governor is in on this whole untruthful mess?.....or he just narrowly and conspicuously avoided an assassination by the entity that sabotaged the helicopter....I pick Option A

If someone in authority, that is not ‘in’ on this now ‘obvious to me’, staged fiasco of an event, cannot connect these dots that a pair of common eyes like mine and other posters here can and are connecting....then something deeper and something very very very more sinister...is going on here.....dang it...
The media reports that it was downed by pure racist hate even before the fires were put out. Why bother with facts now?
What time was the car incident, was it before 4:45?
I smells to me too ,, Not only was event staged by Soros but CIA was involved in the car crash boxing in the driver who ran the woman over , consecutively numbered license plates with the owners identity hidden in the DMV database. Someone didn’t want air video which would have shown a good overall picture of event staging and progression.
No wonder we haven't heard more about this. The helicopter was called away from the Antifa riot in order to glorify McAluiffe.
You are el correcto.
According to this video the car incident was WAY earlier at 1:40 PM.
Rough draft of timeline focused on the helicopter putting in the events with corresponding times as reported:
1:40 PM car plows into people
According to one article the pilots dropped off McAuliffe and were asked to surveil the violence then
4:00 PM left Charlottesville- Ablemarle Airport
This possibly conflicts with the prior report of them dropping off McAuliffe
Between leaving at 4:00 PM and 4:45 PM he helicopter was doing surveillance in the downtown area
4:45 PM the helicopter was in downtown Charlottesville
4:45 PM the helicopter got called to provide support for McAuliffe’s motorcade
4:45 PM the helicopter made a call to emergency services
4:50 PM the helicopter crashes 7 miles southwest of downtown Charlottesville
Robby Noll was an eyewitness to the crash.
There is also a video where a guy with a Spanish accent reports on seeing the helicopter go down linked from one of the linked from the linked thread. One report states it went down in a residential neighborhood, but other footage seems to show woods.
James “Alex” Shields arrest at 9:46 PM.
A better timeline is needed and might show things better.
This Washington Post article gives the time of the crash as being reported on Virginia Homeland Security’s site at 1:14 PM.
Also in article, the Virginia Secretary of Public Safety and Homeland Security, Brian Moran states that a police helicopter filmed the accident.
