There is now more video that was captured by a dashcam as the aircraft went down.
FOX News reports:
Los Angeles NBC helicopter seen plummeting toward ground in dashcam video
Dashcam video from a Los Angeles driver captured an NBC and Telemundo news helicopter rapidly descending toward the ground moments before a fiery crash that killed three people.
The video, captured by driver Year Valencia, shows the helicopter dropping from the sky Tuesday while its crew was covering a separate deadly collision involving an SUV and a city bus.
“I downloaded the video of my dashcam. It’s a little dot on the video. It’s a crisp video, and it just goes down,” Valencia told KTLA, which first obtained the footage. “God, it’s so close, it could have happened to anyone. My parents walk down the street.”
The helicopter crashed in the Chatsworth neighborhood of the San Fernando Valley, killing NBC4 and Telemundo 52 reporter Eliana Moreno, pilot George Marciniw and 29-year-old Edy Gutierrez Mejia, who was on the ground.
The aircraft went down near a storage facility and caught fire, with the blaze spreading to at least four vehicles and two storage containers.
