    Judge Comment: Very strong community journalism here — the presentation is very comprehensive and well-balanced. Striking photos for the kind of event you never hope to see, and this "behind-the-scenes" effort is very compelling. Excellent work!

    Judge Comment: Kudos for a very interesting story and fascinating photographs that you definitely don't see every day! One bit of criticism for cohesiveness— the third graph of the story states that the helicopters are carrying a device with six blades, but the photos show at least 10 blades.
