They just got the guy they were chasing. They had almost had him when the two helicopters crashed. He stole another construction truck then ended barricading himself in a house in the West Valley. SWAT made entry and removed him. That is a very large and busy park. The last time there was a media helicopter crash in Phoenix was back in 1991 (before I was here) when a news radio helicopter crashed before a traffic report. In that case the pilot was startled by a bottle rocket. The investigation is going to take a long time and involves the NTSP as well as the FAA. Also calling out a couple Helicopter Crash Specialist from Washington DC. Just to give you an idea what is going on out there, we have 5 TV station helicopters, Phoenix PD Firebird helicopter and at least a couple news/radio helicopter/planes on in this one area, so it does get a bit crowded.
