    Damn. My initial guess is that it's unlikely, but hopefully everyone survived.

    :(

    It's just one of those freak deals. Flying is one of the safest routes in the world, but things like this happening no doubt shake your faith in it from time to time :eek:

    MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Texas -- A pilot and photographer on board Channel 13's helicopter were killed when the aircraft crashed while covering breaking news in Montgomery County on Monday, according to the station.

    Montgomery County sheriff's deputies said KTRK's SkyEyeHD helicopter went down along Peoples Road near F.M. 1488 near Magnolia, Texas, shortly after 11 a.m.

    The helicopter was flying over the scene of shooting that resulted from a police chase. It crashed about five miles from that scene.

    Pilot John Downhower and photographer Dave Garrett died in the crash. The station said the station did not directly employ the two.

    The cause of the crash is under investigation.

    The photographer's name is familiar if you watch 13 news regularly. Sad.
