On Tuesday evening, a news helicopter providing aerial coverage for NBC4 and Telemundo 52 in Los Angeles crashed, resulting in three deaths including reporter Eliana Moreno, pilot George Marciniw, and pedestrian Edy Gutierrez Mejia. The helicopter was covering the scene of an earlier fatal bus crash involving an SUV, which killed two people and injured several others. Witnesses reported seeing the helicopter explode upon impact; it had been providing live coverage between 5pm and 7pm local time, when it went down in the Chatsworth area of San Fernando Valley. NBC4 confirmed that Moreno and Marciniw were colleagues who had worked together since 2023, flying "hundreds of hours" during their tenure. The helicopter model involved, a Eurocopter AS 350 B2 Ecureuil, has been linked to at least six fatal accidents this year globally.
