Origin: NTSB Initiates Investigation Into Fatal Crash
The National Transportation Safety Board has opened an investigation into the Sept. 15 crash of a Eurocopter AS 350 B2 operated by Angel City Air for NBC4 Los Angeles and Telemundo 52. The helicopter went down around 7 p.m. near the 9100 block of North Mason Avenue in Chatsworth while covering a separate fatal collision between a Metro bus and an SUV.
The aircraft hit an industrial area and caught fire, damaging several vehicles and storage containers near a large storage facility. Fire crews put out the blaze and the Federal Aviation Administration is also participating in the probe. A cause has not been determined.
Three people were killed, including two aboard and one person on the ground. Accounts differed on additional injuries, with one or two people taken to a hospital. A warning alarm sounded in the final live video as the helicopter lost altitude moments before the feed cut.
