Back in December, iReporters provided "News To Me" with an almost TOO-close view of the devastation caused when a military jet crashed into a suburban San Diego neighborhood. The pilot ejected and survived, but, on the ground, one man’s entire family was killed.

I know I will never forget how I felt watching Dong Yun Yoon talking to the media the next day.

This weekend is our final show on HLN. It's been a good run and as they say, "All good things must come to an end."
If you'll allow me just a brief moment of your time, I'd like to say thanks to some of the people who made "News To Me" possible:
You, the viewers. It was your show all along, so I hope you liked it.
The locations. We shot in just about every neighborhood in Atlanta. Thanks for the food, drink and fun stories.
The crew. Simply the best shooters, audio techs & PA’s in the business.
The HLN staff and executives. Thanks for everything. You allowed us to have fun and make good TV.
Interns. Hope you learned something and I need to be nice to you in case you are my boss in the future. Good luck.
Mike, Grayson, Aaron, Charles… great friends. Good luck, kick butt.
Teague. "Allright DH!" Great work, thanks for making me always look and sound good.
JB. Thanks for the chance.
-Eric
