I live near 294 in the Chicago area...a helicopter started spinning out of control and crashed just two blocks from my house...they all walked out of it and were taken to the hospital...I hate it when they hover over my house!

Was the helicopter transporting coins?

In speaking with officials, I learned that the pilot had been distracted by something shiny on a nearby house roof. Investigators are checking now. Rumor has it that the home's insurer is contacting the homeowner to inform them of their violation of policy requirements and will be cancelling before all the claims are filed.

It's about 4 blocks from my house ! ..................My insurance guy didn't call..........

topstuf · July 26, 2005 8:13AM

No, that's right. I believe they said it was about TWO blocks away.

Dan, I changed insurance companies and I purchased Auto and Home...two different experation dates on the policies...So the Home insurance was due on the 23rd...so after he heard of the hellicopter crash I guess he thought he had better bring it over....he is only 3 days overdue...must be due to heat exhaustion!!!!

dlimb2 · July 26, 2005 8:23AM

Matter of fact I have just implanted Two...big ol American Silver Eagle Proofs on the roof...now if that does not cause a problem, I do not know what will!! I put clear coat on them so that shall never be damaged by Hail, Heat, Snow or Rain.

I'm surprised everybody on board lived . I'm south of 294 , just off 87th street in Hickory .........

dlimb2 · July 26, 2005 8:26AM

I am at 81st Ct, off of 87th...in Hickory, your my neighbor.

dan383 · July 26, 2005 8:32AM

Maybe that was Mad Marty getting a better look at those ASE's ( checking for milk spots ) , I heard he flies all over the Chicagoland area in a helicopter buying up all the unopened proof sets he can find b4 Russ gets them !

dlimb2 · July 26, 2005 8:33AM

I bet he was wearing his red suit too!!!

mgoodm3 · July 26, 2005 9:25AM

Glad to hear that everyone walked away. Helicopter crashes generally don't turn out well.

tmot99 · July 26, 2005 10:31AM

I'm in the Chicago area, but not close to the crash site. I saw it on the news and can't believe the very small patch of land that he landed the helicopter.

I bet the pilot could land that helicopter on a dime.

dlimb2 · July 26, 2005 12:51PM

I am also in line with the southwest runway to Midway....they come right over my house...Never have liked that flight path....

dlimb2 · July 26, 2005 1:00PM

Tmot99, sure showed he new what he was doing...lot of people could have been killed...he took it right to the wall.

Ot: what a day!
