Can you normally predict a helicopter crash?

No, two Omaha Police copters crashed in the past couple years - same pilot. Both were military surplus and well maintained but lost power luckily at low altitude.

I just saw this on TMZ, was hoping it was BS, but TMZ usually isn't BS... I hope this isn't true...

They are accurate.
