Two Weeks Ago: The Argentine Helicopter Crash, Two Olympians Killed


Link.

Among the casualties:


Camille Muffat, 25. Won gold at London 2012 in the 400m free. Two more medals during the London games as well.


Alexis Vastine, 28. Quarterfinalist at London 2012 and bronze at Beijing 2008 in boxing welterweight.


Florence Arthaud, 57. Veteran champion sailer.

A very shocking tragedy which reminded me of Vic Morrow's untimely helicopter crash in early '80s.

Television News Helicopter in Fiery Collision with Car; Two Dead


News helicopter from Seattle television station as you see above, goes down, and into a car, resulting in flames. Two died, one critically injured.


Haven't seen a fatality involving a television news helicopter since the tragedy in Phoenix in '07 when the helicopters of 3 and 15 collided.
