Helicopters outside my window - should I be concerned?
They're shooting a film in Cleveland, with helicopters flying around the Detroit-Superior bridge.

They must have taken a break in the filming, the choppers have been sitting on the bridge for at least half an hour.

Apparently Film Producer Alan Schechter is filming the movie "Deep Attack" (formerly named "High Octane"). About a guy who places a bet in Las Vegas: He can stay alive for one day against people who are determined to kill him. He makes the bet, and then flies to Cleveland. Funny, he must have thought that nobody would want to fly to Cleveland.

(Cleveland wasn't my first choice for location of a new job. Or second. Or third. You get the idea. I was from the Pittsburgh area, wanted to go south. The only job I was able to get was north.)

So, when you see (if you see) "Deep Attack" and you see the scenes where the helicopters are flying around the bridge and the river, think fondly of me.

1. Concerned?
Only if they start throwing food parcels out of the chopper, aiming at you...

2. If they were inside your window, I'd be concerned.

3. Need more info.
Are they black? And/or do they have the UN symbol prominently displayed?

4. I have helicopters flying outside my window all day everyday
Sometimes 2 choppers flying close together, one day Bush flew by. Office is on east river near a helipad in lower Manhattan. Sometimes coast guard choppers, black military type ones. Between looking out the window and DU, it's a wonder I get any work done.

5. A lot of movies have been filmed in Pittsburgh too.
My sister lives there and has been an extra on several flicks.
