Two News Helicopters’ Collision In Phoenix

The fast-paced life of a news correspondent isn’t without its hazards and sometimes, getting the scoop on a breaking story might even be worth the risk. Unfortunately, no risk is worth taking if it involves loss of lives, just like what happened in the skies over Phoenix, Arizona in July of 2007.

While covering a high speed car chase happening on the streets below, two news helicopters accidentally collided midair, sending the two aircraft hurtling to the ground in balls of fire. Four unfortunate souls were lost that day.
