HOUSTON (AP) - A television station says two people died when
its news helicopter crashed in a rural area north of Houston.
KTRK, an affiliate of ABC, reported Monday that a pilot and a
photographer were on their way to a shooting scene in Montgomery
County when the chopper crashed.
The station showed video of pieces of the helicopter smashed
against a tree in a forested area with part of the station's logo
visible on a piece of debris. The crash caused some trees to catch
fire near the crash site.
A spokesman for KTRK did not return a call from The Associated
Press.
