Horrible news coming from downtown Seattle.    The KOMO News building is just accross the street from Seattle center and the Space Needle. Its Helicopter comes and goes several times a day from the heloport on top of the building.

Nasty one...both people in the helo were killed, hopefully on impact or they burned to death.  Sounds like they got out of ground effect and lost lift on one side and hit something.  Naval helicopters have had accidents of this nature trying to land on a ship and the helipad on a tall building is not that much different other than it is not moving.
