Terrifying new dashcam footage shows moment doomed NBC helicopter falls out of the sky The terrifying moment an NBC helicopter fell out of the sky and plunged into the ground near where an SUV had slammed into a Metro bus was caught on dashcam. The video, obtained by KTLA, shows the helicopter descending, caught from afar on the vehicle camera of Yera Valencia. She said: “I downloaded the video of my dashcam. It’s a little dot on the video. It’s a crisp video and it just goes down.” She added: “God, it’s so close, it could have happened to anyone. My parents walk down the street.” The two back-to-back Tuesday night crashes resulted in five deaths — two involving the bus and SUV, and three as a result of the chopper going down, killing reporter Eliana Moreno, pilot George Marciniw and pedestrian Edy Gutierrez Mejia.

He assured members that agencies under the Ministry of Health, would uphold the Act on people with disabilities to enable them have access to the services of the agencies.

Speaking further, the Minister advocated for the production of assisted devices in Nigeria, which should be incorporated in the social health insurance scheme so that some barriers faced by persons with disabilities can be identified and tackled. He beckoned on healthcare facilities to give provisions for employment of persons with disabilities.

In his opening remarks, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Special Needs and Equal opportunities, Hon.
