GOP lawmaker urges popular tourist helicopter flights in NYC to be halted.
Low-flying tour helicopters are a common sight in the skies of New York City, but that may change if Rep. Nicole Malliotakis has her way. Following a recent tragic accident that resulted in six deaths, Malliotakis is advocating for stricter regulations or even a halt to these flights. She has expressed concerns about the helicopters flying low over densely populated areas, particularly upsetting residents in Staten Island. The congresswoman believes that more oversight is needed to prevent future tragedies, and has communicated these concerns to federal agencies and officials. Tour helicopters are a popular attraction in the city, offering unique aerial views of iconic landmarks, but safety concerns have been raised in light of past accidents. Following the recent crash in the Hudson River involving a tour helicopter, investigations are ongoing to determine the cause of the incident.
