Helicopters

Was I having a 'Nam flashback or were there helicopters hovering above 5th Avenue around 6:30am?

they totally woke me up. So effen loud. I mentioned them in the thread entitled 5th ave union and sackett. What happened? Does anyone know?

What was going on? I assume it was something in the park, as I am only a half a block away on 7th. Haven't been able to find any info online about it.

woke me up too - I assumed it was traffic report news 'copters hovering for their live shots

I've been hearing them the last two nights. My neighbor said they woke him up at 6:00 a.m. today but luckily I slept through that.

6:10am for me
they were LOUD

They were at 4th ave and 6th street , a car had fliped over.

6:00 am this morning, 4th Av. around 16th Street--SO LOUD. Can't find anything online, what happened?

probably the tv news helicopters they always out that ealier watching the traffic.

Ive been hearing them on and off for the last month, i'm by 14th and 7th ave. And its been increasingly more and more these days.

I know theres been a murder or two in the area and god knows what else.....

No way these were just traffic copters--they were flying waaaaay too low in a residential area.

Speaking of things not making the news--I was surprized how un-news-worthy the huge fire on Prospect Av/4th was----I drove by late Thanksgiving night and saw it firsthand, but couldn't find anything in the news except here: http://www.gothamist.com/archives/2006/11/24/huge_fire_at_pr.php

I heard them last night (in WT near the park) at around 11. Can't somebody design stealth copters?

yeah i was wondering about that too, I heard all of the fire trucks and they were alot of them going there. Didn't smell any of it. And just channel 5 had a video someone took of it but from far away. Was it just the tire place that went up or more?

They're baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!
