  • My heart and stomach feel very heavy when I watch this video. I was watching ABC 15 news when this happened LIVE. You can't hear it in this video, but I heard chopper 15's pilot scream. It's so tragic and heart breaking.... R.I.P you guys...

  • Although a horrible incident, this does serve to illustrate that basic principle of airmanship: "Above all else, fly the aircraft!"

    In answer to the question:

    "Couldn't the pilot of choper 15 simply have manoeuvred to avoid the collision with chopper 3?"

    If you watch this video again, closely, you'll notice that events on the ground become more complicated and attention-grabbing just in the few seconds prior to the collision and the pilot only seems to notice chopper 3 1 second before impact.

  • @kyle92223 no its true i believe

  • they edited out the screams.bummer

  • Added a link to this video to Wikipedia, also.

  • @Scrumxxx technically its the suspects fault, because guess who was charged with it, if a police officer dies from a blown tire while chasing you your held responsible, same thing here

  • clearly chopper 15's fault take this to a court and channel 15 would be payin out the ass

  • You know

    it both thier faults , yjey should stick to traffic reports.

    this chase is police business and phx firebird police helicopter was in charge.

    KEEP THE MEDIA OUT OF POLICE BUSINESS.

  • this is some impressive CGI work

  • fuck i though this shit was real footage...RIP to the those in the helicopters

  • Would it be mean to say that someone wasn't paying attention?

  • @SpoonGoonKay I agree with you and even after watching this video 2-3 years ago and today..it just gives me a chill. The reason for my reply to you sir is because you stated we could not hear his scream...well we do actually. right at the end and anchor woman chats away..but I heard it and its just so damn tragic.
