  "account": "A chilling video captures the moment an NBC Los Angeles helicopter crashed in Los Angeles on September 15, 2022. The audio reveals a woman onboard pleading with the pilot to \"pull up\" and saying \"What? You can't pull up?\" as the helicopter loses altitude. NBC Los Angeles confirmed the helicopter belonged to them. Three people were killed in the crash, with one person transported to a hospital in unknown condition. Among the fatalities was someone on the ground. The FAA and NTSB are investigating the incident, which occurred while the helicopter was covering a vehicle crash in Chatsworth, where an SUV collided with a Metro bus, resulting in two deaths. The video shows aerial footage of the Chatsworth crash before the camera zooms out, then the helicopter descending rapidly as the ground approaches.",
  "summary": "Chilling video from the moment of the helicopter crash in Los Angeles, California surfaced as one person on board was heard asking the pilot to ‘pull up’.",
