My heart goes to the families of all the victims.

That watching people die real time on camera, has become normalized in our society

[yourpureangel]

if he/she smart, he would land the Chopper right away when he realize there are problem with the tail

i think if I saw smoke or alarms on my craft, i would just start going to a lower altitude...fk the rules!!!

My heart goes out to everyone, blessing to all, too much awful things going on.

Why didn’t that pilot put that thing down immediately and save his own life ..

[ericdurae]

Can't believe how anyone walks away from a crash like that

[DeeWill]

Wild that he tried to keep flying instead of landing

[pippycat]

they could have landed on the street well before crashing

I see very dense trees and buildings. Landing a helicopter isn't like parking a VW Beetle, so let the pros do their jobs to figure it out.

These reporters are ridiculously excited to announce death.

He should have immediately descended rather than continued on and fanning the fire to melt through the controls

[daBEAGLE]

He reports the story with a smile on his face and a gleam in his eye.

I know it sounds wrong but we pilots have a weird way of dealing with this kind of catastrophe. 😢 we should all know he was trying his hardest to get the chopper away from a built up area. He was a hero that lost on the day.😢

[Nicholasbroughton]

Killed two a medic on board and a lady IN the apartment building. 😢 how'd this happen?

[brt-jnkg]

Structure fire and the pilot waited way too long but the helicopter down! That said I know what these families are doing through as I have been through it myself and I have all the compassion and sympathy for them in the world.

[cetGT]

Plenty of time to land, how in the hell

[dmrkkla]

He should have immediately landed that chopper.
And don't say he couldn't have because you can land a chopper just about anywhere.
