Wow. They're calling it a "precautionary landing" rather than an "emergency landing," but it sounds like it could have been much more serious. Glad everyone involved is okay.

WGN helicopter makes precautionary landing
November 17, 2008 at 7:42 AM

A WGN Radio traffic helicopter made a precautionary landing in a parking lot on the southwest end of the College of DuPage campus in Glen Ellyn this morning.
The copter landed safely about 7 a.m. after experiencing mechanical problems, College of DuPage spokesman Bill Troller said. Nobody was hurt, and the parking lot was largely empty at the time of the landing.
