Charlotte News Chopper Crashes, Killing Two

Sad news from Charlotte as the news helicopter for WBTV crashed along I-77, killing the two people inside.

After the crash, the station released this statement:

Myers grew up in the Charlotte area and watched WBTV as a child. His career took him to Raleigh, Texas and Virginia before he came back home to the Charlotte area.

He married his childhood friend, Jillian, and the two have four children together.

Tayag came to WBTV in 2017 as an ENG pilot operating Sky3.

He had been a pilot for more than 20 years.

The NTSB is on the site of the crash and investigating.
