It appears that it's WBTV's helicopter, but no word has come out from WBTV themselves or the other Charlotte stations. https://twitter.com/JoshuAguirre/status/1595104221422145537?t=p_uyZ3zXRFIIVbnqUeE2_g&s=19 Edited November 22, 2022 by AaronQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRob 905 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 The witnesses say it appeared the pilot banked as hard as possible to avoid crashing on the highway itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kshow 162 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Seems as if WBTV isn't going to officially announce it's their aircraft until station management contacts the family of the deceased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1907 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 At 3:08pm, WBTV announced on air the deaths of Meteorologist Jason Myers & pilot Chip Tayag. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAVY 10 Fan 230 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 What a devastating loss for the Tayag and Myers families as well as their WBTV colleagues, especially entering the holidays. Also agree in commending Chip Tayag for doing all he could to avoid this potentially being a much worse tragedy than it already is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestTV 1136 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Not sure about Tayag, but Myers was a father of four. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
