Summary
A news helicopter crash in Chatsworth claims three lives, including reporter Eliana Moreno and pilot George Marciniw, plus a pedestrian. Former pilot Kurt Deetz analyzes the final transmission, suggesting the pilot lost power and attempted an autorotation—but flew dangerously low, leaving no room for error. Experts warn that modern camera tech makes flying so close unnecessary and risky, especially over cities. The NTSB is investigating, reviewing wreckage and flight data, with findings expected to take months. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
