Helicopter destroys House in Wisconsin
Early on Sunday morning a helicopter landed on a house a mile from Kenosha Airport in Wisconsin. The two people in the aircraft were both killed while the occupants of the house, 5 in total were completely safe. There was fog at 5:30 a.m., which was when the helicopter crashed, but this was not attributed to the crash. Gary Stielow, a neighbor said “The engine just didn’t sound right, it was sputtering. It was at full power, but it was sputtering real bad. Then you just heard a loud boom.”
After the crash, the family was discovered by Steilow to be safe outside their house, or what was their house and the two people that were in the aircraft were now lying on the floor, dead. The helicopter engine was on fire and the investigation began.
Since the airport’s tower does not open until 7 a.m. the pilot did not file a flight plan. Ed Malinowski, an air safety inspector said that they didn’t think the helicopter had a flight data recorder and that it would take a week to compile a preliminary report of the crash.
In the end there was a safe family, one destroyed house, one destroyed helicopter and two dead people. The unfortunate accident will be open until some questions are answered following further investigation.
Some independent research led me to an interesting study that was done by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). This study concluded that there were a total of 2211 helicopter crashes between 1990 and 2000. The number for the current year is not listed.
Good summary with varied sources and details.
However, how is this “local” news? We’re not in Wisconsin. Local was to be on campus, Albany, Capital Region.
Watch your spelling. Headline “Helecopter destryos House in Wisconsin” has two misspellings and unnecessary uppercase H in House. Also: unfurtunate, said tha the didn’t think the helecopter.

Hm, It seems that I did do a terrible job at reviewing this post. I assure you that it is not a common thing for me. In regards to the “local” bit, I figured compared to the previous post, which was “World News” this incident is quite local, seeing how it is in the the United States. Some would consider this “local” news, I was a bit unsure of how local the news was supposed to be, in my defense.
