Helicopter crashes on top of Spectrum Hospital in GR

I was on my way to pick up some lunch when the news broke on the radio, and as I pulled into the parking lot a few miles away from downtown, I could see the thick black smoke fill the sky...



Watch the video when you can. It is breaking up at this point, but it is quite a sight to see.

Fortunately there were no serious injuries from the crash - the pilot and passenger managed to get away before it burst into flames. The top floors of Spectrum are being evacuted and the emergency room is closed to incoming traffic. Eyewitness reports say the chopper was taking off at the time and the back end hit that communications tower and sent it crashing back down to the roof.

I can still smell the smoke outside my house right now - the wind is very light today and it is lingering in the air. Miracle that no one was seriously hurt from this, and the hospital was able to contain the fire...
