The accident occurred when a helicopter crashed into a radio tower in Houston's Greater East End, leading to the deaths of a child and others on board.
Chief of police J. Noe Diaz indicated that the helicopter either struck a cable from the tower or the tower itself, with major fires igniting afterward.
Witness Sam Elsaadi described the moment of the tower collapsing, likening the sound to fireworks and noting the extensive fire that resulted from the crash.
Houston council member Mario Castillo confirmed that the crashed helicopter was a private touring helicopter, not affiliated with the police department.
