Virginia State Police Helicopter Crash...
52 2017-08-29 by sandvich
Not a day has passed I've not thought of those troopers. To achieve aviation in any State Police has got to be one of the greatest accomplishments of the force. So I was deeply saddened to hear we lost two troopers that day.
I was watching a video this morning and something caught my eye.
Original video I was watching: timestamp: 1:27

look at the helicopter silhouette on the windshield.
then I found this.

so I made this in two seconds.
Take it for what you will, but I hope this is nothing more than a news chopper and these troopers were off some where else at the time.
Is there anyway to see from the FAA the location of that chopper when the car struck? If it was overhead I might have something. If it was 50 miles away just forget I did this :D

Good find! There's another video that has the sound of a chopper which the goof ball calls out as sound of crash...baloney! On cell so look for Zapruder ref in video title...

You can hear a helicopter in Ford Fisher's video right before the crash because he is far enough from the crowd that the sound isn't drowned out.

go look at the prob fake ID portraits they put up, they hats are photoshopped into the pictures.
so what does that say about the photos themselves.

Watch it be a private security firm, like at Standing Rock

What am I looking at with the Imugr?

A reflection of a helicopter in the windshield of the minivan involved in the crash.

Since not one seems to have bothered to look this up for you, here's the deal.
The car thing happened at about 1:45pm
The helicopter that ended up crashed departed at 1:54pm(perhaps in response to this event) from Chesterfield County Airport(FCI) 70 miles away from the scene and landed at Charlottesville airport(CHO) and then departed at 3:54 pm that same day, crashing at 4:44pm.
It is impossible for it to have witnessed anything as it was not in the air at that time.

Thx. So just a news chopper. Kind of looks like Robinson.

do you have some sources for those numbers, because if you do thats pretty much case close here
1 InfectedBananas 2017-08-29
I looking back at my sources I'm wrong on the first. I was looking at the flightaware ABS-D data for the helicopter but it was actually the previous day on augest 11th https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N31VA
It appears to have just landed that day in Charlottesville.
The second part is straight from the NTSB
I doubt the NTSB would have left out earlier usage that day of the helicopter in their report.

Do we still not know what actually caused the crash?
1 legalize-drugs 2017-08-29
Still don't know. It raised my eyebrows from the beginning.
1 IT-research 2017-08-29
The Leftists shot it down.
1 TerribleTherapist 2017-08-29
Not sure about the helo, but they're shooting down your comment, heh.

I remember seeing a news page that had a huge paragraph about the car rundown and fight and below it "Also, 2 police officers died in a helicopter crash."
I didn't make a connection but I thought that it was really weird that it was almost a whisper of a mention, even though the 2 were related.

Ah! Thank you. Good eye OP
