Default ban chopper TV reporting of pursuits

http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2007/...ap3963438.html i read the
car joyrider will be charged with the chopper pilot/reporter deaths!!
so effectively we have learned nothing from this accident!


And if a police car had crashed, the joyrider would have been charged
with that as well.

-if i use my cell phone while driving from A to B that is deemed a
dangerous distraction to my driving, so following a pursuit while
trying to get the best camera pan & commentary is not?


What knowledge do you have of helicopter operations that lead you to
believe that following a police pursuit is similar to driving while on
your cell phone?

-competing tv channels 'dogfighting' over populated cities & schools
(choppers fell into Steele Indian School Park - luckily it was summer)


Who said they 'dogfight', as far as I know, you are the only one to
have said that. On what do you base that opinion? What knowledge do
you have of these operations?

-is there any form of highway traffic police for the air?maybe if they
start getting tickets for speeding & erratic flying the news
companyies profits will start to drop


On what do you base your opinion that they were flying erratic or
speeding. I've not seen anyone suggest that other than you.

finally the best way to reduce this type risky flying is to ban
transmission of chopper covered reality tv.


Yelling, 'let's ban it', concerning something you know nothing about
is a pretty typical reaction of the uneducated.
