My opinion -for what it is worth...

1 air space was not really crowded in that the copters had a large seperation between them... there were some very open areas that a copter could have come down on to take a person or two. If a pilot can not get his copter down on a large open area I am not sure he should even be in the air..I am not sure if they even have two way or the means to have two way communication with the police or first reponders

Of course I look at this from the view of spending many years as a Combat Medic.

It has always bothered me to see folks tanking pictures of people in a life or death situation when they could be helping out
