  • who is this idot....

  • Yes four people died in a terrible situation, but i agree with your point that that they were more focused on filming a chase scene over one of the most basic responsibilities as a pilot.. Flying the plane and the safety of those on board! They violated this, along with a common practice of reporting and flying an aircraft at the same time. This was a recipes for disaster that the industry needed to take some of the blame. NOT the suspect being chased

  • As a Phoenician, I am disturbed by your video. I dont care what you are trying to prove by this video but it is dumb and pointless! Four people were killed that day and it doesnt matter whose fault that was.. Just have some respect and dont post dumb videos like this. May they rest in peace

  • So wait, someone blamed the officers chasing the car for the helicopter crash? Hell you might as well just blame the guy who was being chased if that's the case. Accidents happen, it's crazy how people like to blame others tho.

  • Sm00thOp3r8or, you're an asshole. Get a life and grow up. Stop acting like a 10-year-old.

  • lol this guy is 40 years old..and you see what he does on his spare time?..acts like a 10 year old..Find a new hobby..

  • WAT I STHE TITLE OF THE NEWS REPORT SO I CAN WATCH IT WITH OUT THIS RED NECK BASTERD INTERUPTING EVERY 30 SECONDS

  • O MY GOD DUDE SHUT THE HELL UP AND PLAY THE VIDEO

    SHIT

  • you are so stupid

  • @vxtroy123 thanks you , are you are soo intelligent....

  • You look like the fucking Big Boss Man

  • U R A KNOBHEAD

  • douche

  • thx

  • While I agree the pilots were careless, I don't know why you repeated them saying they want the best shot. Televisions stations operate on advertising revenue which is related to the ratings. The better the ratings, the more they can charge for an ad (and that also means cable news can charge more per subscriber). Unless you want to pay their bills, you have to accept the fact that ratings will be a deciding factor in everything they do.

  • I am not sure I understand the point of you video. Helicopters crash..... Have you ever even seen one? I think you should be more concerned with just how it flys because it should't

  • I think your constant interrupting of the video and repeating the same thing the reporters were saying was annoying and pointless

  • just trying to prove a point that this video was related to, live with it

  • I have worked with two different helicopter companies and have been in the air many times. I have watched the pilots and It is difficult just to fly the helicopter let alone chase a dumb idiot across town, talk into the camera and watch out for other helicopters. While your trying to get your best shot your putting yourselves in harms way and the people on the ground. Once your 1,000 feet above ground you are responsible for keeping a watchful eye out.

  • peace from germany!

  • I agree, what happened in the air had to do with protocol. Seems like a no brainer when you have as many as 5 helicopters (including police helicopters) following a chase they should each have an assigned altitude to prevent an obvious accident waiting to happen.

    The suspect on the ground may have been the story, but not the cause.

  • wow,, very well put,, thx alot,, i like that

  • @Sm00thOp3r8or Due to comment size limitations I will have to break up this comment.

    I completely agree with you.

    Helicopters are probably the most sophisticated flying machines on the planet. In fact when you consider how complex they are it's amazing that they can fly at all. Add to that that they are inherently unstable and very difficult to control and it's a no brainer that their pilots should be prohibited from doing anything but concentrating on flying the aircraft in a safe manner.

  • @Sm00thOp3r8or Let me put it this way.

    In America many states now have laws against talking on cell phones or doing anything distracting while operating a car and all states have laws against driving while intoxicated. Why? Because these things interfere with our ability to operate the car and could endanger our lives and the lives of people around us. Now cars can only go forward, backward, left, or right and have fairly simple controls, basically just a steering wheel, brake, and gas pedal.

  • @Sm00thOp3r8or the driver of a car only has to pay attention to what is in front of them, behind them, and to the left or right of them when making a turn or changing lanes.

    Helicopters, on the other hand can go forward, backward, left, right, up, down, and side to side. This means that a helicopter pilot has to be paying attention to everything that is going on around them in a 360 degree sphere.

  • @Sm00thOp3r8or Add to that the fact that helicopters have a very sophisticated set of controls that can behave differently depending on the surrounding conditions and it becomes even more important that the helicopter pilot not be distracted by multitasking.

    Clearly both of these helis (and in my opinion all news helis) should have a separate reporter on board to allow the pilot to solely concentrate on flying the aircraft safely.

  • @Sm00thOp3r8or Now as for whether or not the criminal should be charged with the deaths of the four crew members, I say he should not be charged with anything but the crimes he actually committed. It wasn't his fault that the pilots were not operating their aircraft safely.

  • @Sm00thOp3r8or Let me set up a hypothetical scenario to illustrate my point.

    Suppose you are in a car accident and while rubbernecking two other drivers collide with each and are killed. Should you be charged with manslaughter or murder because they chose to pay attention to your accident rather that pay attention to operating their vehicle safely? Of course not, it wouldn't be fair. And it would be just as unfair to charge the man in the video for the deaths of the heli crews.

  • @mk1505 yes, I agree with you, I hope it didnt seem like I was saying that he SHOULD have been charged.. I was against him being charged,, I think I made that more clear on the video this one is attached to...

  • @Sm00thOp3r8or No, no I didn't mean that YOU were saying he should be charged. I was responding to all the other posters who were saying that he should be. I was trying to illustrate to them that it isn't fair to charge him with the deaths of the four crew members simply because they died in a crash that was the result of them filming him. I was pointing out that he may have been the reason that they were there, but he wasn't responsible for the operation and subsequent crash of the helis.

  • @Sm00thOp3r8or Sorry if it seemed like I directed that first comment at you specifically. I didn't mean to. In my own way I was agreeing with you. Again sorry for any confusion.

  • wtf no one ask for your comments. just let watch the video

  • go FUCK yourself

  • after you matha fucker

  • I agree somewhat. Pilots having to drive AND report is just stupid. It's just too much, flying an helicopter is already hard. That MUST be changed! The suspect, while not being the source of the problem, I think should be charged because this wouldn't have happened.

  • don't apologize. The pilots were idiots they be aware of there surroundings. Especially when the is only so many aircrafts in the air

  • cluster fuck

  • There's a bigger picture to air dirty laundry on Sm00th. How about the police who engage the chase no matter what the cost?? The pilots probably would still be alive if they didn't have to "jockey for position" during that Arizona chase. How about the innocent people just living their daily lives when the police chases a suspect for probably stealing a twinkie out of a grocery store. It shouldn't warrant a chase if technology can catch a criminal better than high speeds through school zones.

  • INDEED , i agree,, thx

  • Not really. It was ruled pilot error by the FAA. The pilots lost track of each other. And before you go off on a rant about police chasing suspects, you should look at department policy. Phoenix can only pursuit suspects who have committed a violent felony.

  • Get a life...stop jacking off so much...u fucked up in the head..loser

  • wow fucking red neck ass hole i hope i really do hope some one fucking beats your ass u duch im a pilot & u need to pull your head out of your ass

  • KISS MY ASS!! and being a pilot is what , supposed to make you smarter? tougher? what? you asshole,, listen to your dumbass comment.

  • your a nub

  • Your a fucking idiot

  • Isnt it neat that all the " are you a fucking Idiot?" comments I get are from assholes that hide behind anonymous accts like yours? expose yourself BITCH!!!

  • Are you stupid?

  • Isnt it neat that all the " are you a fucking Idiot?" comments I get are from assholes that hide behind anonymous accts like yours? expose yourself BITCH!!!

  • No life Fucking looser!!!!!!!!

  • Isnt it neat that all the " are you a fucking Idiot?" comments I get are from assholes that hide behind anonymous accts like yours? expose yourself BITCH!!!

  • Again as a commercially trained helicopter pilot and rated fixed winger...I agree. The pilot in command of his aircraft is fully responsible for the safe operation of his aircraft and reserves the right to deviate and take any action necessary to ensure a safe flight. What is happening on the ground has absolutely nothing to do with flight operations. They failed miserably.

  • u sound like a retard why did you repeat your self after just hearing it from the news people all though i do agree with you on the suspect not being charged with the chopers running into each other its not his fault they werent paying attention but now days they will blame anybody for anything as long as they have somebody to blame.

  • I wish the helicopters hit you

  • Why? He's exactly right, foolish mistake by veteran pilots. They need to fly the aircraft first, its the rule that they train pilots from the beginning of training.

  • my school was next to that park in phoenix,  Central High School

  • you look like sam the greesy cave man of trailer park boys

  • Isnt it neat that all the " are you a fucking Idiot?" comments I get are from assholes that hide behind anonymous accts like yours? expose yourself BITCH!!!

  • man shut the fuck up this is not cool

  • apparently , according to the comments on your channel,, all you do is hate,, so go fuck yourself and i hope you dog dies of cancer, bitch

  • who is that fag cutting in the video go finger your self fag shut da fuck up no one cares what you say we can see for our selfs you should be charged for talking shit you suck hope not to see you ever again on you tube peace out what

  • no one cares what YOU say

  • Sounds like in chase situations like that, they should have another aircraft flying higher & providing control instructions, kind of like the FACs in Vietnam.

  • As a fellow pilot my self i agree with frankt1113 is the pilots SOLE resoponsabilty to pilot his craft and its the law that says that you can look it up in the FAR/AIM manuel you study to become a pilot so any charges that are brought against the guy on the ground are stupid yes he should have not run but the choppers should have been whatching where they were going too.

  • wow,, well thx for your input,, I really appreciate you pilots stepping up to clarify this and to help me prove my point...

  • As a pilot, it's the pilot's fualt on this one, not the guy in the truck. The number 1 priority is saftey in the industry, and by getting in close to get a "good shot" of the chase with that much more air traffic in the area is not a safe practice, weather working in conjuntion with other choppers over the radio or not.

    I'm not sticking up for the criminal, but the driver should no be charged for what happens in the air.

  • buen video dude!!

    y tienes razon

  • gracias

  • Perfect vid 5/5

  • tyvvm....

  • cool....dude.

  • never apologize for your opinion

  • WOW!!! well i appreciate that..thx for watching

  • So how do you figure that the police were bothered by more air traffic?? The 3 news helicopters here flying 1500 feet about the Phoenix police helicopter. I just love how you rednecks can sit there and make fun of bad situtions just to make yourself feel better!!

  • OH YES , I am a redneck , and i feel better...ppffftt

  • You sound more like a redneck for that comment.

  • What you may or may no know is that the guy was involved in several hit and run accidents long before news helicopters were on scene and BEFORE the accident!!At this time he has not been charged due to the fact that Phoenix Police are waiting for the NTSB to finish their report first. I think you owe all of us in Arizona a BIG APOLOGY!!

  • ok, first off, no matter how many accidents he caused prior to the event in question, the news media choppers were not helping in the capture of this certain individual, IN FACT, the police were WELL in control and were actually bothered by the presence of MORE air traffic. He should only be charged for the accidents that he DIRECTLY caused on the ground, Not for the incompetence of these certain pilots.

  • Therefore, you should be more worried about your local tax dollar of your city parks that was used to clean up the mess that the choppers caused,and demand that the TV stations foot the bill.furthermore, the one that should be apologizing here, is the your local police for even attempting to charge this guy with such a stupid charge, and the news media for even letting such story get out..thx for watching

  • Hello from Arizona!! I want to start of by saying your video really hurt people out here. YOU DO NOT LIVE HERE! There is alot more to the story then you might have heard in your redneck town. How can you sit there and make fun of this situation?? Yes, the guy should be charged. If he never stole a vehicle and ran from the cops, the news helicopters would have never been in the area!!

  • i do not agree. You are responsible for your acctions. if your job is to pilot an aircraft than you should be able to do so in the safest possible way, no matterwhat the circumstances. The acused is innocent.

  • sm00th shave that hair from your mouth you talk a cunt,

  • I talk "a cunt?"hahahaha, well i went to your profile, and all of your favorite videos are of Girl wrestlers..you are a pervert arent you,, and prolly a pedophile..hahahaha,, dude ,, reveal yourself and stop leaving hate comments,, you "cunt"lol
