Collision of 2 news helicopters in Arizona.?

First my condolences to the families, but now the question.There were 5 copters in the air that day trying to get the exculsive video of a slow speed car chase.In the name of TV ratings 4 people have lost their lives.Was the story really that important .It could have been a lot worse if it had hit people on the ground.It just seems insane to me.I just wonder what you think of this whole thing.
