Two dead in news helicopter crash near Seattle Space Needle

A news helicopter crashed near the Seattle Space Needle on Tuesday morning. The Seattle Fire Department reported two fatalities from the chopper and one critical injury from a driver on the ground.


KOMO-TV reports that two cars were struck in the crash. The station also reports that firefighters were able to extinguish the blaze within a half-hour. The copter had reportedly been trying to take off from the roof of Fisher Plaza, across the street from the Space Needle, according to the KOMO. It may have hit the side of a building. Spirals of smoke could be seen across the city.


Kyle Moore, a spokesperson for the Seattle Fire Department, held a press conference where he explained many details of the crash.
