At least two are feared dead after a helicopter monitoring the ongoing protests in Charlottesville, Virginia crashed and burst into flames.
One witness said that the helicopter stalled before spiraling to the ground out of control.

Witnesses told local media that the Virginia State Police helicopter crashed near a golf course.
Witness Emma Eisner, who captured video of smoke rising into the air, wrote on Twitter: “To everyone asking about the helicopter crash: it basically started stalling, spiraled down to the ground & lost control.”
A police helicopter had been seen earlier in the day circling over the counter-demonstrations in Charlottesville.
The helicopter went down at about 5.30pm local time on the west site of Charlottesville, away from the site of the violent protests.
Earlier in the day, a still unnamed man drove into a crowd of counter-protesters, killing one and injuring 19.

How sad. Karma comes to mind.
How is a police helicopter crashing karma?
Look dude. You people are incapable of out of the box thinking. Replying to the ignorance is futile. Go back to sleep.
Fuking cops, eh? Take their toys away before they hurt themselves, …. oh, nevermind
