What happened to two news choppers covering a car chase in Phoenix on Friday:

Four people died. Following the crash the other news choppers immediately swooped in to film the aftermath, and the local televisions stations, whose employees had just died a fiery death, immediately and repeatedly aired the last video footage from the two choppers, including the shouts and screams of the dying men. All of the footage was immediately picked up and transmitted over national video services and broadcast on the cable stations, and on all the major network outlets at the usual hour.

 

But hey, at least they died for entertain- er, I mean the news! Yeah, that's it -- the news. <cof>
