NYC helicopter tour company closing after fatal crash
A tragic helicopter crash in the Hudson River claimed the lives of six people, including children, leading to the closure of the New York City sightseeing helicopter company involved. The incident occurred last week near the New Jersey shoreline, with witnesses reporting the helicopter's main rotor and tail falling apart before it crashed into the water. The victims, a family of five visiting from Spain with their three young children, and the U.S. Navy veteran pilot, lost their lives in the crash. Federal officials, including the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), are supporting the investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board and reviewing the tour operator's safety record. The FAA is prioritizing helicopter safety and will host a panel discussion on April 22 to address potential risks and mitigation strategies in the aviation industry.
