A Slipped Disk? Leitz Telyt-V 280mm

There was some kind of click-baitey, "newsworthy" event this afternoon which involved two helicopters circling over the neighborhood for about an hour.  At first I thought it was the Blip Police catching up with me at long last for posting images not taken on the day.  But I've been pretty good about that of late.  Then I thought it might be the Cholesterol Cops coming after me for indulging in two slices of American cheese at lunch...  It went on for so long that I finally went to fetch a camera and huge lens. Despite the lens' mag powers, the helicopters were quite far away and I had to crop the image drastically.  Not great optical quality, so I'll include as an Extra.
While I had camera in hand, I cast my eye across the neighborhood rooftops to notice two dudes working on a satellite dish.  They make for a better image.
Addendum:  I went to the news channel website, and sure enough, there was coverage of a roofer having fallen while working on a neighborhood house.  Non-life-threatening injuries, two helicopters, cops everywhere...  I wish the man a swift recovery from an accident doing a dangerous job, but two helicopters to report it?  Really?
