(MENAFN- Qatar News Agency) A news helicopter crashed Tuesday morning killing two people and wounding another seriously in Seattle, Washington, near the iconic Space Needle building. The injured, approximately 37 years old, was extricated from one of three burning cars and taken to the hospital, according to a tweet by the Seattle Fire Department. The weather is not believed to be a cause of the accident. KOMO-TV news channel, to which the helicopter belong, quoted an eyewitness as saying: "It looked like the helicopter was trying to take off, and it just was trying to stabilize and it looked odd -- and it just took a nose dive right down there on the street." "And the scary thing about it was the gas from the helicopter started leaking and it caught a car or two on fire - so it's crazy," the witness added
