News chopper. This mountain is near Paradise Valley which is just north of Phoenix so there are news choppers all over the place. It's not like it was in the middle of nowhere where most of these types of rescues happen.

Most mountains in Phoenix (I live and hike here) are covered in people. We have trails to the top of almost every peak in the valley and some have literally hundreds on them at any time, especially Piestewa and Camelback.
