#1 Living in the neighborhood, I long suspected that there was going to be trouble, because for big events there might be five or more helicopters in about 1 square mile of airspace.

And that is asking for trouble. In addition, there are Guard and Reserve helicopters, ambulance and rescue helicopters, and helicopter traffic from Sky Harbor. Noteworthy that to enter or leave Phoenix to the North, there is only one helicopter corridor.

The only local TV station that doesn't have a helicopter is PBS.

#2 It's so that they died for, well, nothing. If they'd been covering a terrorist attack or a riot or other major news, it would have been a tragic loss, but understandable.

But a car chase?

#3 There is no comfort in th method of their deaths. May the memory of the way the lived their live bring comfort to those they so unexpectedly left behind.

#4 May the memory of the way the[y] lived their live[s] bring comfort

In light of how the MSM brings so little comfort to decent other people's lives, I'll reserve any comment.

#5 No fair picking on me when it's Stupid Error Day. For the rest, that's for their families, friends, and colleagues to work through.
