At promptly 17:30 this evening 3-19-22 helicopter (air 5) with the LASD had to perform an emergency landing in the Angeles National Forest with 5 total people on board the aircraft. Both pilots have been transported by air to Pomona Valley trauma center one in critical condition, the rest of the crew they say are doing fine at this time. At the time listening to my scanner will keep you all updated with the latest information.

Praying to the brave servicemen who put their lives in danger to save others. Hoping for a swift recovery.

Title is misleading. Another report said “ The occupants of the aircraft were a pilot, co-pilot, two paramedics, a crew chief and a doctor from UCLA who was participating in a ride along”. Who were en route to rescue someone

This is the 6th helicopter crash in the U.S. in two months. What's up? More training needed? Miscalculation while flying? Untrained pilots? Bad mechanics? Faulty chopters?

[jackiek]

They hate carbon emissions in California that is why they do not use cars.. these gas gusher choppers emit 15 times more pollution than a typical V8 suv..

[michellerene]

There should be no commercials when reporting real news....

[D-ss]

Whats going on with these helicopters falling ?

[oceancat]

Omg! How sad! Prayers to the officers.
This is why I don’t ever want air lifted.
If I’m in a wreck, keep me on the ground.

What's up with all these police helicopters falling down

[calisuds]

Their is probably a mechanical malfunction.... too many helicopters are going down. We need to start making our own parts.
