As I have mentioned before, Chopper 4 is periodically used by the TODAY Show for their Toyota Summer Concert Series. Back on May 19, I was surprised by the size of the crowd the band The New Kids On The Block drew. When I heard that Coldplay was going to perform, I knew we’d be flying overhead on Friday.
Â
Naturally, I expected a really large crowd, but I did not expect it to be as gigantic as it turned out. For eight years now I have worked with the TODAY Show and I do not remember a crowd as big as Friday’s. Trust me, Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi and Ricky Martin all drew enormous crowds.

As I was going through my daily collection of news feeds, I found articles talking about the NTSB’s findings on the collision of two news choppers  in Phoenix in July of 2007.Â
Â
As you may recall, five news helicopters were following a pursuit in Phoenix when two of them collided in mid-air, killing both pilots and both cameramen.
Â
The pilots of each of the aircraft involved in the accident also served as reporters from t... more

It allows you to filter the advanced search results by price changes (5 percent lower, 10 percent lower, or any increases). To see it in action, go to http://www.streeteasy.com/nyc/process/sales/edit_search
Example of what I found just now:

My wife and I were in an Applebee’s recently, our first trip to the chain restaurant. It was also the first time we’d been to any chain since the NYC law went into effect forcing chains to list calorie counts on their menus. Gotta say it does make a difference to see the counts right next to the items themselves (680 calories for one appetizer; 1,300 for one entree).
We ended up not ordering what we’d originally wanted &... more
