He continued: “(The passengers) were both conscious and breathing and talking to us. It’s very lucky that nothing else was damaged or anybody was injured." In interviews with the Fresno Bee, several neighbors reported seeing the crash. Kathy Logan, a resident at the Oak Park Senior Complex across the street from the affected house, described her firsthand account. Robert P. Gowitt@Rogo524@DrChrisCombs @one_bell 1 why isn’t there a solution to tail rotor failures.

How about a battery powered smaller rotor that drops down for long enough to emergency land? Logan said: “He sounded like he’s losing power and he’s getting closer. As soon as I said that, ‘Bam, it crashed." Addressing the fact that there were no major injuries, she continued: “That was a Jesus moment – that he didn’t hit nothing and nobody (else) was hurt. Thank goodness it was just a tree.” Another neighbor, Neicy Miramontes, told reporters that her nine-year-old son, Ezekiel Carranco, witnessed the incident. Miramontes said: “All of a sudden (my son) looks up and sees the helicopter spinning and after that he heard a loud boom."∆lex ÐelderfiΞld ?@Alex_ADEdge@DrChrisCombs Yikes that was a rough landing...
