ADVERTISEMENT Tennessee Emergency Management Association spokesman Dean Flener told the Associated Press that five people had died in the crash in Sevierville, Tenn. A Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman said the Bell 206 sightseeing helicopter crash was reported at 3:30 p.m. Monday. Spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said in an email that officials said the helicopter was destroyed by fire. It was not immediately known how many people were on board. The owner of Smokey Mountain Helicopters also told WVLT-TV in an on air interview that five people died in the crash. The group was on the sight-seeing ride as part of a popular tourist activity about 200 miles east of Nashville. Emergency responders from the nearby tourist hub of Pigeon Forge are responding to the scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son and I went on the same tour at the same location about two years ago. It really makes you think about the "what if's". I send prayers for all involved in this tragedy.

There's no need to waste time worrying about things you have no control over, but rather focus on living life to the fullest with the time we have.
