A news helicopter crashed in downtown Seattle next to the space needle, killing two on Tuesday morning.
NBC reports that the “chopper, operated by local television network KOMO, an ABC affiliate, and also used by KING5, an NBC affiliate, went down near Seattle’s Space Needle at about 7:40 a.m. PT.”
At least three cars were set ablaze, the Seattle Fire Department said. Paramedics took a 37-year-old man, who managed to pull himself out of a car, to Harborview Medical Center in critical condition.
Three people were on board the helicopter, which was taking off from a downtown helipad when it crashed and burned, according to the FAA. The condition of the third person was not immediately known.
A local person, Alex McBurney, captured the scene a moment after the crash occurred.
