Eliana Moreno was reporting from above Los Angeles when the assignment turned into the story itself. The NBC4 aerial reporter, who also appeared on Telemundo 52, was among three people killed when the NewsChopper4 helicopter she was travelling in crashed in Chatsworth while covering a separate fatal bus collision.
Moreno and pilot George Marciniw, both employees of helicopter operator Angel City Air, died in the crash on Tuesday, 15 September. A third person on the ground was also killed, while others were injured. The National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration are investigating, and the official cause has not yet been established.
