News Helicopter Crash in Los Angeles | San Diego News

A news helicopter crashed in Los Angeles on Tuesday, September 15, killing pilot George Marciniw, reporter Eliana Moreno, and at least one person on the ground—just moments after a warning alarm sounded as it lost altitude near a storage facility. The chopper, operated by Angel City Air and used by NBC and Telemundo, was covering a separate SUV-bus collision that also left multiple dead and injured. Investigators from the NTSB and FAA are now probing whether engine failure or rotor issues triggered the crash, with experts noting the low altitude likely doomed any rescue attempt. News stations mourned the loss of two seasoned professionals, while the Chatsworth community grieves the tragic end to a day already marked by devastation.
