Just camera ships or ships where cameramen are on board shooting, so ride alongs are included as the presence of the camera often has an impact.
(consider the twin jet ranger trying to lift off out of the bull ring, overloaded with film crew and a politicians entourage)
I debated if the Cobra was a camera ship as it had a nose mounted camera, but decided the data would have more impact if it was rigorously specific to having a camera person onboard.
So the fixed wing pilot who shot stills out the window, up until his last breath, is included.
If there are numerous story ship accidents, pass them on and I'll start a sub group.
The feature film industry has a good record with only four incidents, one fatal.
TV commercials 8 prangs, six of them shooting car commercials and one shooting general views for a car commercial.
The feature film fatality also occurred shooting a car.
