An armored Marine Corps helicopter makes a pass over the Downtown Howard Johnson Motor Lodge in New Orleans firing at the block house at center where police believe sniper Mark Essex was hiding.

When it was all over Essex was sprawled out on that roof with several hundred bullet holes in his body. I recall some of this being broadcast live by New Orleans TV stations. January 1973.

I’m thinking that is the old BR General Hospital?

That hospital is Lady of the Lake, where Huey was brought after he was allegedly shot by Weiss.

You are right, I got them mixed up.
Posted on 1/2/25 at 8:09 pm to Traveler
I did a large amount of reading about Huey and the circumstances surrounding his death.

Did you know the pilot of the Chinook basically commandeered it without clearance? He saw what was going on on TV and basically volunteered his services..
quote:
Lt. Colonel Pitman commandeered a CH-46 military helicopter to assist police, conducting landings near the hotel to transport armed officers, and conducting numerous strafing runs over the roof of the hotel, in which the officers inside the helicopter and Essex exchanged many rounds over many hours.
quote:
The United States Marine Corps considered a court-martial for Charles Pitman for taking the helicopter without prior approval. However, New Orleans–based Representative Edward Hebert, then chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, recommended the issue be dropped.[1] Moon Landrieu, then mayor of New Orleans, later stated, "Without that helicopter and without his piloting, it would've been a lot worse. The city owes him a debt of gratitude."[1] Antoine Saacks, a former police officer who boarded Pitman's helicopter that day, said, "I always say the true heroes were Chuck and his crew, undoubtedly. I have a tremendous amount of respect for the man that's unwavering."[1]
