TV helicopters collide
The two TV news helicopters crashed in Indian Steele Park in Phoenix. The collision occurred as the choppers, one from KNXV-TV, the other from KTVK-TV, were broadcasting coverage of police pursuing a truck. Cameras aboard both aircraft were pointed at the ground, so viewers did not witness the accident. (Ross D. Franklin / AP)
