This wasn't by any chance the former Meigs site, was it?

UNKNOWN.

If this is the Fire Department helicopter that went down about a week
ago, then the site was a few miles south of the old Meigs field.


Sorry, I was making a rather weak attempt at a joke. With all the
"UNKNOWNS" in the report... well, you get the idea.

An unknown A&P left a pin out of the tailrotor which failed after a short
unknown amount of time.
