Video shows police helicopters collide - CNN Video

Some procedures in aviation may require a lot of internal cockpit attention, such as inputting coordinates, changing frequencies, etc. It’s like “texting” while driving. Both Company policy AND training should cover this in pilot procedures. If both aircraft are “operating” the separation should be even more controlled by painted lines, hover lanes, etc. Were there “ ground handlers “? I couldn’t watch the video, I could only see the pic.

It seems this whole thing could have been avoided with some paint boxing in where the two helicopters needed to be to maintain a safe distance.
