Apparently both were private TV mobile cameras following a highway car chase. Another heli caught them falling from the sky on a footage. So much my news

"Helicopter Crash In Phoenix
PHOENIX - Police in Phoenix say two TV helicopters crashed while covering a police pursuit, killing everyone on both aircraft.
Police spokesman Sergeant Joel Tranter says there were at least two people in each helicopter.
KNXV-TV Channel 15 reported that one of the choppers belonged to its station. The other was from KTVK Channel 3 in Phoenix.
The helicopters were covering the police pursuit of a work truck. Just before the midair collision, the driver had jumped out of the nearly disabled vehicle and carjacked another truck. Helicopters from other stations were also in the area.
Channel 3's signal suddenly went black, and within a minute other stations began reporting news of the crash.
