I can't remember the last time I heard or saw helicopter coverage. Google maps is just so good there's no point anymore. The CBC has no budget and they were exclusively relying on traffic cams and driver cell phone tips.

It's so tragic, yet so compelling. I had to see, but I didn't stay long. My sympathies are with the owners. Hopefully some good will come of it.
