Living in a town with no buildings other than the nuke plant over four stories, and seeing that they were near the GW bridge, 2000 feet still seems rather high to me for a police helo to fly, but as you say, there are some might tall buildings in NY. But why arrest them?

42 million dollars in debt, say what?

Plus, I doubt they were at 2000 feet at all, either the heli or the drone.
