A Los Angeles news helicopter crashed in the San Fernando Valley on Tuesday while covering a deadly SUV-bus collision, with footage from inside the aircraft capturing the terrifying moments before the crash.
The helicopter went down in a parking lot near the 9100 block of N Mason Avenue in Chatsworth, close to the scene of an earlier crash in which an SUV slammed into a Metro bus, killing two people and injuring six others.
The NTSB and FAA will handle the investigation, the fire department said.
Footage from inside the helicopter showed the aircraft apparently losing control before the recording ended as it crashed. The helicopter came down between two commercial buildings, landing on or near several vehicles and shipping containers. A large fire broke out following the impact.
