You know, as unfortunate as this accident is, there is the suggestion that the guy in the chase might get charged with the death of the crewmembers. Now to me that is a complete foul. The guy on the chase may be a complete a$$hat but to pin the accident on him has no sense of justice.
These chopper pilots were not in a law enforcement capacity, I don't care how much one would want to argue that their footage helps apprehend criminals. They are there to provide a service and that service is to provide footage that gets ratings and makes money. If that doesn't have a noble ring to it, too bad, you can't have the cake and eat it too. I'm sorry about the devil's advocate posture, but I find it ridiculous that they would nail the guy for 4 deaths as a way to appease our voyeuristic, over-consumeristic, money-driven/obsessed societal vices, and help our society sleep better at night. Utterly ridiculous.
Taking the politics aside, I would like to believe that they died pursuing their passion in life, and I find that noble enough in my book. We should all be so lucky to attempt to pursue our passion in life, win or lose. Godspeed to these fellow aviators, the other crewmembers and my honest condolences to the families, may they be able to find peace in time, and honor their memories.
