I know this has to make everyone very nervous. I sure hope that is all it is. Prayers for all injured or otherwise affected.

FDNY: "There was a helicopter hard landing on the roof of 787 7th Avenue in Midtown Manhattan. Fire has been extinguished. Please continue to avoid the area"

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Whew! Not that it's good, but when I saw "crashed into" I wasn't thinking a hard landing "on top of".

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Yeah, same.

FDNY reporting one death at the moment.

A ban on helicopter crashes would be a better law ...

A ban on helicopter crashes would be a better law ...

Nope.....a ban on stupid politicians would be much, much better.

 

[Trigger Time]

Im excited to learn to fly them. But not crash into buildings. I want to take people shooting out of them.

Do not let an opportunity to put your mug in the camera pass you by regardless of how idiotic it makes you look to normal people.

Is it stupid?
Or, when people say the same things about guns, we can say, remember how you thought the helicopter ban was stupid..

You can hunt feral hogs from a helicopter in Texas: Helibacon

Bring your piggy bank and your kid's piggy bank, or your own helicopter. It's not cheap.

Well, yes to me and you it is but I see your point.
Tell the same lie often and loud.
Soon it becomes the truth.
