ABC 13 Eyewitness News pays tribute to two colleagues, photographer Dave Garrett and pilot John Downhower, who were killed when the station's news helicopter "Skyeye" crashed outside of Conroe in Montgomery County, Texas on October 13, 2008.
If I moved to Houston, KTRK-13 wold be MY choice for news. They operate just as good as their sister station here in NYC WABC-TV 7.
This sad incident makes me put in perspective what people like John DelGiorno does in his covering news aboard NewsCopter 7. I remember also when NBC4's chopper went down a few years ago. Thank God all on board survived.
Thank you for putting these videos up. I work on Skyeye13 with Dave and John. Their loss will be felt for a long time.
