A Note to Our Readers

Dear Readers,
We make a special effort here to record the facts as we receive them. At times, there may be error but we do try to use our best judgement at the time of posting, and will be glad to amend any details which are proved incorrect. Furthermore, even though we do not here discuss the human cost, we realize that losing anyone in an air accident is insurmountable tragedy to individuals, families and communities. We do extend our heartfelt sympathy to those whose loss we record here. "...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for..." us all.

Vegas Metro Helicopter Lands Safely


What: Metro helicopter
Where: vacant lot near Fremont Street and Bruce in Downtown Las Vegas.
When: Nov 5, 2008
Who: Unnamed officers and pilot
Why:Witnesses saw the helicopter swaying back and forth before it landed safely. Pilots anticipated a problem and landed on the empty lot. Maintenance staff was able to do on site repairs to the part that controls the rotor speed so that the helicopter was able to take off, and return the helicopter back to the hanger where it landed safely.
