Helicopter Dismantled After Yorktown Crash [Photos, Video]

Officials were taking the helicopter apart before it was supposed to be removed from the site.

The vintage Sikorsky S-55B helicopter that crashed at a private residence's farm field in Yorktown on Friday is being dismantled Saturday afternoon. As of 3:30 p.m. officials were still taking it apart before it was supposed to be removed from the site.

The two male helicopter occupants walked off with no injuries after the helicopter made a hard landing at the field and flipped over on its side at around 6 p.m. Friday.

First of all, I don't understand why teachers are paying for anything out of pocket when the supplyRead More lists that parents receive at the end of the summer are as long as their arms. Secondly, SOCIETY lets the kids down?!?!? I think the school taxes in Yorktown should be sufficient so that the teachers don't have to pay any out-of-pocket expenses. SOCIETY does not let the kids down, it is those who are in control of the school tax monies who let the kids down. Perhaps the administrators should take salary cuts, or maybe we should even eliminate some of those administrative positions. No teacher should have to pay for supplies out of pocket.
