yesterday afternoon a pacific gas and electric company helicopter had an emergincy of some kind and went down into the river bottom and cutoff its own tail and crashed...it normally flies over my home..makes a right turn over the canyon and then comes in over a bridge near what is called "railhead park" and lands at the PG&E yard on sacramento st in auburn...the accual crash site is deep in the canyon about 1100 feet below the ridge top....a dam was to be built here but an antcient faultline was found in the keyway and the construction was halted...this is just down stream from the foresthill bridge which came also be found on the net..
