WNBC-TV ("NBC4") is the flagship TV station of the NBC television network. It was the first commercially licensed television station, debuting as WNBT (for NBC Television) on July 1, 1941.
On September 11, 2001, the transmitter facilities of WNBC-TV as well as six other local television stations and several radio stations were destroyed when two hijacked airplanes crashed into and destroyed the World Trade Center towers in the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack.
On May 4, 2004 while covering a breaking news of a shooting in Brooklyn the WNBC-TV News helicopter suddenly fell out of the sky crashing onto an apartment building rooftop, the pilot and two passengers were miraculously unharmed. Rival TV station WABC-TV's news helicopter was covering the same news story when they saw the WNBC-TV helicopter in trouble they called for help and also got exclusive footage of the actual crash. This is not the first incident of a helicopter for WNBC crashing, In December 1998 WNBC's news helicopter crashed into the Passaic River near Harrison and Newark, New Jersey and six years earlier on October 22, 1986 the WNBC-AM Radio N-Copter crashed into the Hudson River killing traffic reporter Jane Dornacker and seriously injurying pilot Bill Pate. Dornacker had recently gotten back into flying into a helicopter after surviving a previous crash of the N-Copter into the Hackensack River in New Jersey a few months earlier.
