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

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.
