In late 2017, Toyota revealed the 2018 C-HR SUV at the Geneva Auto Show. It had been on the market in Europe for a year by that time, and it was doing well—after all, it was a compact and affordable SUV with a chic, modern look, so it would do well in America, right?

I categorized them as soulless, hideous, unnecessarily gargantuan wastes of precious road space. I’m sure someone close to me can probably quote me saying something akin to, “I’d rather light myself on fire than be caught driving a minivan.”And then I tested a Kia Carnival, a Toyota Sienna, and a Honda Odyssey with my two car-seat-bound toddlers.

Jose DeAguiar adores his silver Subaru WRX wagon. He loves it so much, he keeps it under a cover when he’s not behind the wheel to protect it from the elements. For added security, he keeps a security camera pointed at his usual parking spot. He put up the camera because he anticipated people trying to break in or steal it. It is New York, after all. What he didn’t see coming was an Amazon van driver crashing into the side of it. “He rams right into the side of the car,” DeAguiar told WABC.

So, on Monday, May 19, when neighbors spotted a PennSTAR medical helicopter flying abnormally low over their homes, it provoked a lot of suspicion. Shortly after a neighbor pulled out their phone to record the chopper, it landed in a family’s yard and driveway. “It really sounded like a helicopter was coming down in the movies,” a neighbor told NBC.
