We no longer list the URL as it changes everyday this links are soon no good. And I forgot to mention all the traffic cam's mounted all over our vast freeway system as well. Enough is enough.
Nobody needs to see a stalled car in traffic from a helicopter.
By not declaring an in-flight emergency, the pilot of a news helicopter that crashed at Van Nuys Airport increased the danger to people on the ground, a fire official said Tuesday. Pilot Kris Kelley had lost all hydraulic power while she was flying for KTTV-TV Channel 11 over the Shrine Auditorium after Sunday night's Academy Awards. Fire officials said Tuesday she asked the Van Nuys control tower for a priority landing but didn't declare an in-flight emergency, which would have prompted firefighters to mobilize around the landing pad. Another news helicopter pilot who was escorting Kelley said she declined his offer to call for emergency crews. After the crash, it was a cameraman, Aaron Fitzgerald, who dashed to the flaming wreckage and dragged Kelley and her passenger, cameraman Phil Arno, to safety.
