“The monorail track lies to the West, the news building is to the South, Space Needle to the East.”
Actually the entrance to the Space Needle is just to the SW of the crash site while the monorail track is to the NE of it. The Space Needle is to the NW. The lawn it crashed on is the SE side of Seattle Center.
It crashed on the NW side of Broad Street where it intersects with John Street.

One man could be seen running from from one of the cars with his sleeve on fire, and he was extinguished by officers at the scene.Good Lord! They KILLED HIM???!?
Oh, the writer means *IT* was extinguished by the officers at the scene.

Dear Lord, two people died and three comments on this topic had to be removed by the moderators for apparent tastelessness?
Aren’t we better than this?

Live coverage says this person is in critical condition w/50% burns.

That type of pix is my worst nightmare as my daughter is a flight nurse for a medical rescue helicopter.

I just stuck to the cardinals. I wasn’t sitting in front of a map when I wrote the summary. Just what I had heard on KOMO a few minutes before.

When I was in the hospital my room was directly under the helo pad. I could hear it coming and going, and smell the jet fuel.
A couple of nurses admitted it scared the hell out of them having it right up there.

The company my daughter is with lost a bird and crew 10 years ago. She was hired as a replacement crew member. Needless to say the outfit does take safety seriously and allows any crew member to throw a safety flag to abort a mission.Yet things break and humans make mistakes.One of the most dangerous occupations in terms of deaths per hours worked in the nation. Prayers up for those lost and their families.

There have been similar incidents in the past, like the NYC radio station ‘copter crash where the reporter was heard to scream “hit the water, hit the water!” (Jane Dornacker*, WNBC), and one in the 70s in Boston where Red Banke and Chip Wittermore of WEEI AM 590
were killed when the ‘copter hit an apartment building in Quincy.
*—Wiki: Both occupants were trapped for nearly 1015 minutes before help arrived. Dornacker died on her way to Saint Vincent’s Hospital. She was 39 years old

Arent we better than this? Just like anywhere else. Some are. Some aren't.

One of those deleted was me calling out an idiot who was apparently glad this happened because Seattle is liberal. His comment was also removed.

It was a Eurocopter AS350. Same type of bird my husband flies.
