No, there wasn´t an airborne helicopter duel on Market Street today, even though it looked that way. A pair of choppers, with stunt people standing on their rails, appeared to attack an office building, but it was all for the benefit of a movie crew filming atop the PNC Bank building.

Dueling choppers above Center City

Staff Report

It's a bird. It's a plane.

No, it's a Ring of Fire Productions crew, which filmed above 16th and Market streets today. Not to worry, officials say.

Two helicopters marked with FBI insignia hovered about 40 stories up, carrying stunt men dressed as SWAT agents, who shot blanks at the building.
