Dan: “This is Dan Rogers at AM 640 on the line with our Eye-in-the-Sky Chopper reporter, Hank Larson.”

Hank: “Three police cars are in hot pursuit of a vehicle containing both a driver and a passenger.”

Dan: “Sound dangerous!”

Hank: “I think this is coming to an end shortly because the suspects appear to be headed towards the old collapsed bridge. They will have no choice but to stop.”

Dan: “Do you have any idea what initiated the pursuit, Hank?”

Hank: “It’s believed to be related to the foreclosure of a farm belonging to the fleeing suspects’ relative. The suspects are accelerating towards the downed bridge! They aren’t going to… they are, they are going to try to jump the gap… and they made it across!”

Dan: "..."

Hank: “The police cars are also attempting to make the jump and... No! They didn’t make it! They’re in the water, Dan. The suspects have escaped!”

Dan: “Um, Hank... what kind of vehicle are the suspects in?”

Hank: “A bright orange, 69’ Dodge Charger. Why?”

Dan: “Damnit, Hank! You’re not in the chopper; you’re watching Dukes of Hazzard on TV!”

Hank: “Wait, wait... a red-striped, black GMC van has joined the chase!”

Police are trying to catch up on the suspect and the leading car gets closer … but wait a second, WHAT IS THAT? The back door of the chased van opens and some strange thing I can only describe as a jet engine is moved out. Now huge flames are bursting out of the object, melting the police car to a puddle of metal and plastic.

Now, while the van is approaching the hastily formed barrier of police vehicles, the roof is opening and out comes the biggest machine gun I have ever seen. Must been taken from an A10 warthog or other fighter aircraft.

Rounds are being thrown out of the gun at enormous speed and ear-splitting noise. While the gun swings from left to right the police cars are blown up in spectacular explosions.

As the van passes the miserable rests of the barrier, flames are coming out of both sides now. Huge flames looking like liquid fire! The few brave policemen who could escape the explosions are now turned into living torches!

Just now, a white trail has passed my helicopter, hit the van and it blew up. And now we are passed by a couple of Tomcats ...

Police are now in pursuit of an intoxicated hit-and-run suspect... He's weaving through cars and--He's trying to push the authorities off the road! He's already hit a few street signs and--the suspect just turned! Some police units crashed! But there's still one chasing after--Oh! The driver almost killed some pedestrians! He's headed straight for a roadblock... there's spikes in his lane! But he swerves quickly! It seems that state and federal police are closing in on him... The suspect's SUV has gone off the road! He turned and is now driving through a field! The suspect driver is aggressively blocking the police from attempting a box-and-stop maneuver. The police are being forced to follow the suspect through a wooded area! A fed's car's on fire! The others are still keeping up with the suspect... He's speeding up, now, and he's back on the road! The police are trying a rolling block... The scanner says that only federal units are pursuing the suspect now... The suspect is now heading the wrong way on the I-10! More federal police are following... They're ahead of him! They're slowing down to box him in... And the suspect is down with a PIT maneuver!

“Brenda Young for channel YNOT, reporting from the Some Street Apartments fire.”
“Police arrested the building Superintendant for arson. His only comment was, “I hate squalling brats.”
“Fire departments from all over the city are working together. The flames are massive, yet these brave firemen continue to risk their lives.”
“There are about a hundred residents standing by. Many in shock and all are wondering if any ruminant of their homes will survive.”
“Something is going on. Let me get over there.”
“My God, there is a woman with a small child at the fourth-floor window! “
“The firemen are frantically trying to position the ladder truck to reach her. She is motioning that she wants to drop her child. A fireman is yelling at her to not do that.”
“This is intense.”
“Wait! A fireman has run into the burning building. Can he reach her before she drops the baby? “
“A hush has come over the crowd. All we hear is the roar of the water hoses. “
“Smoke billowed out the window, now it’s engulfed in flames. Where are the woman and child?”
“I can’t believe my eyes! The fireman saved them! They are coming out! “

The suspect has his high-powered lawn mower really revved up as he cuts around a tree. The dangerous blades twirl taking out a dozen daffodil's, but the driver seems oblivious to the destruction he is causing.

Now the back door to the house has opened up and two kids and a dog have gone bounding into the yard. The driver doesn't even slow down as he approaches them. Those kids are sure to be sucked under the maw of that cutting death machine!

A woman has now entered the back yard, and she sounds a warning to the kids. They don't listen but continue playing in front of the oncoming destruction. At the last moment, throwing thoughts of her own safety to the wind, she scoops them up and out of the way as the lawn mower passes.

The suspect, apparently wants another run at them, and turning his vehicle of destruction around prepares to return to the scene of near devastation. The woman frantically takes the two kids by the hand, and makes a run for the back door, the mower missing them by mere feet.

We are just now closing in on the recently stolen vehicle from a nearby warehouse. The descriptions identify it as some kind of military vehicle equipped with a weapon, but, upon closer inspection, this does not seem to be Army, Marine, or Navy. The driver is swinging wildly across the road from left to right, as if he can't control it! Wait a minute, that thing looks familiar... Yes! My daughter was playing this game called "Halo"... Son of a GUN! That thing's a Warthog? That's a damn rocket launcher! Ho! He just fired one! Those squad cars are up in flames! What? I've just received word that a sniper has been deployed! ... and there's the suspect's head flying out of the vehicle.

" We've got a police report of a crazy lunatic on the freeway. Jeff, take us to the action," the news anchor stated.
" It appears that the driver of the automobile is an elderly lady. With road rage. Oh!! She's crazy! She drove over the nail strip! I see sparks! I'm now zooming the camera in too her and... Hey! She stuck her hand though the window and is giving us the bird! And this was a live report too! Lets just hope we don't get sued!
Finally, the police are setting up a barricade. What the *@#^ ! She blew though the concrete and hit my brand new Mercedes! Luckily my car stopped her because of the giant fireball. Looks like we need an ambulance." Jeff reported.
Back at the news station...
" Bob! Put the technical difficulties screen on now!"
But it was too late! The FCC shut down the station.

Now we come to our thrilling conclusion! The black SUV is speeding down the interstate, the driver is suspected of a heinous crime and the 3 Police cruisers are determined to catch him! The SUV is swerving in out of the highways lanes, almost getting in the way of other cars! Is he going to hit the stopped car at the intersection? No! He narrowly avoids it and swerves right onto the busy suburban streets! OH NO! He’s hit a light post, toppling it over onto the street and almost nearly hurting someone. Good thing there was nobody on the street or somebody might be a little hurt! He’s gotten out of his car and is making a run for it! One of the cruisers has hit him! He definitely has some minor injuries! He is trying to crawl away but a cop is following him slowly. OH JEEZ! The cop is dragging him onto the sidewalk! I see a police brutality charge in the making!

OH this is SHEER PURGATORY out there, there is NO space between the cars on this busy street at ALL. A bicycle just whizzed past that Bughatti only missing it by inches... And now past a Toyota, past a big yellow truck, this is amazing. If those cars were actually moving, he would probably be dead now.
