A privately owned helicopter crashed into a radio tower in Houston's Second Ward on Sunday night, resulting in the loss of four lives, including a child. The incident occurred just before 8 p.m., and a subsequent fire engulfed an area of approximately 600 feet. Fortunately, no one on the ground was injured.
Houston Mayor John Whitmire described the scene as "terrible" and expressed condolences to the families affected. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is leading the investigation into the crash, which appears to have occurred under unknown circumstances.
