Emergency NYPD Helicopter Landing in Prospect Park
Verse Responder, Leon Freilich, saw this in the Daily News. It was the second emergency landing in three days and a faulty light is being blamed.
Hey, if you were there, send us your report.
A helicopter made an emergency landing in Prospect Park on Tuesday, its second unscheduled touchdown in three days.
Police said the "precautionary landing" happened just before 1a.m. yesterday in one of the park's ball fields.
The pilot noticed a light blinking on the control panel and, rather than continue flying, chose to land and have the chopper tested, a police spokesman said.
"Most of the people thought it was for a movie because so many movies are filming in Park Slope right now," said dog-walker Johanna Clearfield, who lives nearby.
