Takes the British press to tell us there was no flight data from the helicopter:

One of the officers was on the gov’s security detail. Reminds me of all the Clinton security guys who were Arkancided.

I also go to the British press for info the MSM here has been ordered not to cover. Daily Mail is owned by Murdoch. Unfortunately even Fox has gone further to the left.

We haven’t heard any of the audio from the chopper.

The chopper went down within minutes of the car attack.

That’s awfully convenient that the ‘eye in the sky’ crashes just after the attack. If they were in the area, they undoubtedly saw the car and the black SUVs that were there during the arrest.

Why is the street the car used in the attack is on pink here in this picture?

here is a related discussion
over PPruNe

http://www.pprune.org/rotorheads/598264-state-police-helo-crash-charlottesville-virginia.html

working theory is that a Main-Rotor-Blade
sliced off the tail boom.

you would think that
Bell Helicopter would be careful
about that kind of thing

Potential Theory: Someone sabotaged the helicopter prior to take-off. That someone was directed/hired by another entity to do so. Why? Whoever ‘they’ are....They knew before the Protest incident that The helicopter was going to house the only piece of media evidence of what really happened. And it was the only media piece ‘they’ couldn’t control. I think you can fill in the blanks from there.

Of course, this is only a theory. But someone find me the tel. numbers to the reporter/editor who wrote the story? They will receive a call from “someone” close to me early Monday morning. Just walking the walk here. May be fun.

I don’t know about anybody else, really....but after watching the Incident over and over and over again?....It certainly felt to me (being in the entertainment business)...that the incident was almost choreographed. Just felt off....felt like a ...”based on an actual event”, rather than an actual event.

“By now the FAA investigation should have some clue as to why this crash occurred, killing two police pilots.”

NTSB

Count me as one that thinks this helicopter crash may not have been an accident. There’s too much “covering up” of what actually happened on the ground.
