1. When this type of battery catches fire, it releases highly toxic gases and intensifies both the temperature and the severity of the blaze. Extinguishing a fire in one of these vehicles requires three to four times the amount of water needed for a fire in a standard car.
2. Given the surrounding residences, the accident could have been far more tragic.
3. We really need to get the recordings and videos to understand exactly what happened.
4. Parts of the aircraft are scattered hundreds of meters away, so the information we have is still very preliminary.

1. At least six fatalities have been confirmed; all were crew members of the aircraft involved in the accident.
2. Reports indicate that the helicopters collided in mid-air and crashed into the parking lot of an electric car dealership, igniting a fire that engulfed at least 20 vehicles.
