At 5:37 am on September 21, 2008, a helicopter crashed into the roof of this house. It fell down the central staircase and crashed through the front door, coming to rest on the lawn across the street. Two adults and three young children inside the house were miraculously unscathed. The two people aboard the 2006 Robinson R44 helicopter did not survive.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/56859/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/56859/ Mon, 22 Sep 2008 06:02:51 -0500 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/56859/ 42.57144500 -87.92671700 <![CDATA[Accident scene]]>

Story from the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
An abandoned warehouse caught fire at East 45th Street and Superior Avenue, sending smoke throughout the edge of downtown Cleveland.

The three-alarm fire broke out about 3 p.m. Scores of firefighters in about two dozen trucks battled the fire, which was centered around Metals Crankshaft Grinding.

Strong winds threatened to push the fire into surrounding buildings, but firefighters seemed to get control of the fire about 4 p.m.]]>
