News helicopter forced to make hard landing in Los Angeles

2010-11-13 01:36:53 GMT+7 (ICT)

LOS ANGELES (BNO NEWS) -- A TV news helicopter on Friday morning was forced to make an emergency landing at Whiteman Airport in Los Angeles due to an engine failure, KCBS-TV and the FAA said.

"A helicopter took off from Whiteman and shortly thereafter made a hard landing under unknown circumstances at 7:50 a.m. The tail rotor came off. Neither of the two people on board was injured,â€ FAA spokesperson Ian Gregor told BNO News.

The news helicopter is regularly used by two local television channels, KCBS-TV Channel 2 and KCAL-TV Channel 9.

The helicopter's pilot reported an engine failure, according to KCBS-TV but it is currently unknown if the failure occurred during flight or upon impact as the tail rotor and boom assembly were separated from the main body of the helicopter.

The San Fernando Valley airport is frequently used by aircraft related to news channels and other media.

Selective Service is terminally broken. Failure to register can result in refusal

Over 300,000 kids bunk off school, seemingly more interested in football than education. I wonder if these are the same kids the rightwing pearl clutchers insist are being discriminated against in schools? https://www.theguardian.com/education/2026/jul/06/thousands-of-children-absent-from-school-in-wake-of-overnight-england-world-cup-win

Farage faces Clacton showdown as rivals refuse to stand Nigel Farage's dramatic gamble to resign as MP and force a by-election has taken another extraordinary twist after Labour, the Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats, the Greens and Restore Britain all announced they will not contest the seat. The Reform UK leader resigned his Clacton seat insisting voters—not Westminster—should judge the allegations surrounding his finances. If re-elected, Farage says he will return to Parliament with an
