Romero said she then saw a man engulfed in flames emerge from one of the three vehicles, waving his arms as he ran. “I saw it falling, it was coming down head first,” Carmen Romero, who had been walking to catch a bus when the crash happened, told Reuters. Photos posted online by the station showed bright flames and towering smoke rising from cars at the scene after the aircraft came down. Local television station KOMO, an ABC affiliate, said the aircraft was one of its news helicopters. Two people were found dead in the wreckage of the helicopter when emergency responders arrived at the scene, while the occupants of three vehicles that caught fire managed to escape their vehicles, Moore said. The chopper appeared to have fallen to the street as it attempted to take off from a helipad at the top of a local television news station, Seattle Fire Department spokesman Kyle Moore told reporters. Wreckage is pictured where a television news helicopter crashed near the Space Needle in Seattle, Washington March 18, 2014.
