There were no injuries on the ground. The helicopters went down in a park. There is a VA hospital and some condos nearby, so it is just sheer luck they went down in the park... and as normal in the Phoenix summer, not very many people were outside at the park.

The pilot and photographer on each helicopter perished. For the ABC station (channel 15), their names are Craig Smith and Rick Krolak. For the local news station (channel 3) they are Scott Bowerbank and Jim Cox.

It was an awful event to have happen, or to witness. Please keep the families of these four men in your thoughts and your prayers.
