On this episode of Thin Ice with Amy Freeze, we take to the skies with veteran journalist Chris Cristi, the "eye in the sky" for ABC7 Los Angeles. From breaking news over wildfires and police chases in Southern California to covering historic moments like the Miracle on the Hudson, Chris shares his remarkable journey—from his early days watching lift off at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center to becoming one of the most trusted helicopter reporters in the country.

With a career spanning coast to coast, Chris has reported on some of the most intense natural disasters, high-speed pursuits, and critical news events from a perch high above the action. He takes us inside the fast-paced, high-stakes world of airborne journalism, revealing what it’s like to navigate the Santa Ana winds, cover raging wildfires, and witness breaking news from a vantage point few ever experience.

Plus, Chris shares his thoughts on the future of aerial reporting, the challenges of flying in extreme conditions, and the most unforgettable moments of his career. Don’t miss this high-flying episode of Thin Ice with Amy Freeze!
