Title: “Just Unimaginable”: Woman Recounts Helicopter Collision in Her Backyard
In a tragic turn of events on Sunday afternoon in Hammonton, New Jersey, two helicopters collided mid-air, resulting in a devastating crash that claimed the lives of both pilots onboard. The incident unfolded just moments from the home of Caitlyn Collins, a nearby resident who witnessed the horrific scene firsthand.
“It’s just unimaginable,” Collins expressed, visibly shaken as she recounted the moments that followed the crash. “They say it hits close to home; it’s in my backyard, and we had to watch it all unfold. Someone’s not going home to their family tonight.” Her words embody the shock and heartbreak that have enveloped the community in the wake of this tragedy.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed that only the pilots were aboard the helicopters when they collided, leaving friends and families mourning the sudden loss.

I am sure it's Trump's fault. He is responsible for my garbage disposal going out, and my cat getting fleas, as well.
oh my, how aweful. very odd all the helicopter crashes.
Condolences to the family and friends of the pilot that lost their life. 😢❤🙏
This is trumps America! These aerial accidents are a direct result of DOGE cuts and this admins cutting of vital services
All that space up in the sky and they crash into each other? That's hard enough to do in GTA 5 let alone real life where the world is much bigger.
0:06 dubstep❤
What were helicopters doing in the air anyways ??
You're taking a big risk flying in the USA these days. Crazy lawless times
So sad and traumatic
Condolences to both Pilot unfortunately the sky is way too wide for two Helicopters to collide with each other maybe they're both Txting 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Inside job, emergency services showed too soon
How could two helicopters collide
CANADA CANAAN K9 IS FILLED WITH THEM, THOUGH NOT AS PREVIOUSLY
Nice joke shmh
Hm…. holding his hand was a mistake. All it did was give her PTSD. If you see someone dying and are not trained/capable of saving them just avoid looking. You'll end up with flashbacks, fits of rage, constant insomnia otherwise.
Welcome to the real world!
What a wonderful woman holding that man's hand.
This woman held his hand in his worst moment. You were his angel ❤.
Can we hear from several families like anyone cares
Holding an occupant's hand and repeated encouragement, maybe the the most wonderful thing she did. I hope she finds a patient outlet councilor so she can talk it out, over and over and over until her soul settles.
As a RN, bless you for being there! It's heartbreaking to see people die alone!❤❤❤
Thx for being there and hope ou can work your way through it. Ya don't know till ya been there and it is a nightmare. Much respect for acts kindness. THX.
The crash isn't about you lady and your feelings. People died
As a man all I want to know is HOW this happened.
That's a serious backyard! RIP to the deceased
Where and when did this happen?
You did an excellent job staying calm with your husband to help out I can imagine it wasn't easy. Thank goodness for folks like you who care.
You see what happens when there aren't enough air traffic controllers on the job? Who fired most of the air traffic controllers? You and I know the answer.
Inexperienced pilot for sure
!!!😂🤣. The party starts a little early this year huh fellas ??
Another failed organization in Canada. Very sad for everyone’s loss but the sad truth seems to becoming too frequent.
