This happened a block from where I work. While I didn't see the accident, I saw the smoke coming up from the wrecks - it was horrible to watch, knowing that four talented and professional men just lost their lives.
I watch Channel 15 every morning while getting ready for work, and watching Craig Smith (one of the pilots), who usually has his dog Molly in the cockpit with him (not today, though) is always a highlight of the morning. His cheerfulness and sense of humor was infectious - I will miss him. He also played in a rock band that donated all of its earnings to charities. A truly good guy, who deserves a lot better than "they couldn't fly a helicopter."
I suppose we're all to blame - we're the idiots who stay glued to the television while they air these things.
