News helicopter crashes, burns beside Space Needle

by KOMO Staff -- Mar 18, 2014

SEATTLE - A news helicopter has crashed and burned Tuesday morning on Broad Street only feet from the Space Needle.

Emergency personnel immediately rushed to the scene.

Two cars were struck in the crash. One man could be seen running from from one of the cars with his sleeve on fire, and he was extinguished by officers at the scene.

Huge flames and plumes of black smoke poured from the burning wreckage. Fuel gushing from the wreckage caught fire and burned for a block from the crash scene.....

Out side the beltway...
If the FAA allowed drones, the News stations could have used them instead and no loss of life...
