A helicopter pilot and a meteorologist died when a news helicopter crashed along a Charlotte-area interstate.
A helicopter pilot and a meteorologist who worked for a North Carolina television station died Tuesday when a news helicopter crashed along a Charlotte-area interstate, with police praising the pilot for heroically avoiding the roadway in his final moments.
“Jamie and I are learning it here as our newsroom is learning it and trying to figure it out while deeply grieving …,” Grantham said during the broadcast. “We’re giving the news and we’re all — all — of our WBTV family grieving Chip and Jason because we love them.” “The pilot is a hero in my eyes,” tweeted Johnny Jennings, chief of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. “Witnesses indicated that the pilot made diversionary moves away from the highway to save lives. Because of his heroic acts, there were no further injuries or vehicles on the highway involved in the incident.”
“The words are hard to come by folks, we’ve been holding on to this for a while,” Boll said, his voice wavering before he cleared his throat. “Every single day in this newsroom, Chip would wave at you say hello, ask you how you’re doing. He’d wave from behind the pilot’s chair of the helicopter,” Boll said. “Jason Myers — I could go on and on. He would bound through this newsroom with incredible energy and smiles and just cared about everybody here.”
