Police MD 500 Down - Vegas - 2 injured
 
LAS VEGAS, Nev. - A Las Vegas police helicopter crashed on a residential street Wednesday and two police officers were taken to a hospital for treatment of moderate injuries, authorities said.

It wasn't immediately clear what caused the four-seat MD-500 helicopter to go down just before 1:30 p.m. northeast of downtown Las Vegas.

The pilot and co-pilot were helping with a search for a stabbing suspect at the time. The pilot was able to make a distress call before the chopper hit the ground.

Maybe this 'successful outcome' was BECAUSE this H500 was a twin :hmm: ?
