Large 5-alarm fire at Golden Gate & Eddy
3 news choppers and one airplane/drone
SFO Aircraft Noise Abatement Office (online complaint form)
Stations’ contacts:
– CBS5 KPIX
– ABC7 KGO
– KTVU 2
– KRON 4
As per callback from one station, KGO, KNTV, KPIX, KCBS and possibly KRON will be sharing a helicopter (good idea). Said that their helicopter stays above 1,800 feet but question remains as to whether that is sufficiently high. Said their copter is red and white – saw that one passing near me about an hour ago – it seemed low and was definitely loud.
Why the need to keep flying over and over and over after they’ve already got sufficient footage?
Possibly write legislators about coming up with reasonable policies to balance people’s right to peace vs. news organizations’ desire to film.
Representatives’ contact:
Feinstein
Boxer
Pelosi
Follow-up on fire: fire was so bad they are letting the building burn down to the ground. Sad for all the residents who live there, especially at this time of year.
