The NBC4 crew — professionals who accepted the particular risks of aerial journalism — did not return from a flight meant to serve the public's need to know. Federal investigators now sift through wreckage and footage in search of the moment where routine became catastrophe, a search that speaks to the broader human reckoning with the fragility woven into even the most familiar forms of work.
