NBC News Helicopter Crashes in LA, Killing at Least 3

What began as routine aerial journalism became, in an instant, a second and far graver emergency layered upon the first. The incident invites reflection on the quiet risks carried by those who bear witness to the world from above — and on how swiftly the act of observing catastrophe can become one.
