Risks highlighted by NYC Hudson River helicopter crash

A tragic helicopter crash in the Hudson River last week is the latest in a series of accidents involving helicopters around New York City. Many tourists, like Elaina Latona, were eager to experience a unique aerial view of the city. Latona, who flew in a helicopter just two weeks before the fatal crash, expressed concerns about safety measures and recalled feeling nervous given recent aviation accidents. She was shocked to learn that the same company and aircraft she had flown with were involved in the Hudson River incident. Latona, who was initially considering another helicopter ride, has now decided to never board one again. Investigations are ongoing into what caused the fatal crash, which claimed the lives of six individuals, including prominent professionals and children. Lawmakers are urging for reforms in New York City's airspace following this tragic event.
