At least three cars were damaged yesterday by a $100,000 infrared camera that fell off a Ohio police helicopter. The incident occurred around noon on Wednesday at 1600 Watermark Drive in Columbus. A witness said they saw the camera “flopping” around before it came off, heavily damaging one car and doing minor damage to the others. The IR camera had just been mounted to the aircraft prior to taking off from the CPD heliport in search of a missing woman. This isn’t an unusual ocurance though as the department can’t afford to outfit every helicopter with its own. As a result, the two cameras they have are regularly rotated between the aircraft as needed.
Oops.
Oops.
