Loud sound woke me at around 4:45 this morning. Soon thereafter, two LAPD copters were overhead at the top of the Esses with their searchlights on wide beam.

It is now just after 7:30 am and they are still hovering, now without their searchlights on.
News copters have joined them.

This morning's news reported the car as Charlie Sheen's car. It had gone over the edge or was pushed over the edge they said.
At first all occupants were accounted for, later the driver seemed to be missing. This news is not confirmed as yet.

They went to Charlie Sheen's house and he reported the car stolen.
I hope all is well with Charlie Sheen.

Channel 7 reported the incident at or near Java. It appears it actually occured a couple hundred yards east of Java in the Esses.
More news is forthcoming as Mulholland is closed while an investigation is under way.
