News Helicopter crashes in to Vibe in Seattle

[SeattleJeremy]

The reports say two people are confirmed dead.
From one angle of the first video it looks like the helicopter landed/crashed on backseat/hatch area of a Red twotone Vibe.
In the second video, in the following link, it details that a 37 year old man was able to escape the Vibe, but was badly burned. He's been taken to this hospital.

Edit: Looks like it was a Komo News 4 helicopter, which is an ABC affiliate.

That's terrible news.

My thoughts are with the victims!

Wow. What a way to go This could have been so much worse with the restaurant and other occupied buildings nearby. The Vibe on fire is really scary & sad. I'd be curious as to what happened to bring this chopper down.

Yea when I first saw the pictures on the news at noon.....I said that looks like the Vibe......And later I was able to see a close side view of the Vibe name on the car.
The Helicopter was just trying to take off of a roof top heli-port.

The top post on this Reddit thread was deleted, but the next comment indicates that Helicopter might have lost power unexpectedly.

Hopefully, they can figure it out.

I dunno why, but when I see stuff like this, its just weird knowing that I may have had my hands on this vehicle in it's infancy, and if I didn't, I definitely know many people who did. Hope those injured make a full and speedy recovery.

I saw this story the other day on the WGN Channel 9 News (Chicago) and saw a close-up shot of the two-tone Salsa Vibe involved .
