Lost that tail rotor portion it seems, damn....

These news stories are always premature w/ their info. I remember the DC crash involving the plane/helicopter referenced many survivors being rushed to the hospital. Come to find out, everyone was dead from the start.
Same here - just look above. 2, 3, 4....until it was eventually all 6 onboard. The media really needs to exercise some patience when dealing with people's loved ones vs trying to be first.
RIP to all 6

Damn, I saw the thread title and just knew it was an old thread. Apparently not.
RIP to the victims
RIP to the victims
Damn rip especially to the kids
Man, same thing in was thinking
I did the helicopter thing one time and after about 10 mins I was good. It was a sight see over Atlanta and it was cool but all I was thinking if ANYTHING goes wrong just slightly it’s all over no chance at survival. So once I was back at the teleport I was like I did it and I’ll never do it again. RIP to the deceased.
Terrifying new footage sparks theory into cause of NYC chopper crash
Footage of a rotor blade plummeting to the Hudson River has led aviation experts to likely determine the cause of the New York City helicopter crash that killed six people.
Terrifying new footage of the New York City helicopter crash that killed a family of five, including three young children, appears to show the cause of the tragedy that occurred over the Hudson River.
The sightseeing chopper plummeted into the water at 3:15 p.m. on Thursday, killing Agustín Escobar, a Siemens executive from Spain, his wife Merce Camprubi Montal and their three young children, along with the 36-year-old pilot.
The family had just arrived from Barcelona and embarked on their first day touring the Big Apple, taking a scenic trip around the Statue of Liberty and up to the George Washington Bridge.
The unidentified pilot from New York Helicopter radioed base to warn that they were running out of fuel just before the tragedy struck.
Harrowing footage of a rotor blade plummeting to the water has led aviation experts to believe the crash likely occurred because the main rotor blades separated from the aircraft and sliced the tail.
'From the footage, it appears that the main rotor struck the body of the helicopter, cutting off the tail of the helicopter, which created an unrecoverable event,' former military aviator and attorney Jim Brauchle of Motley Rice LLC told DailyMail.com.
'The two main causes of this phenomenon are mechanical failure or excessive maneuvering. Still, a full investigation is needed to understand why this tragedy occurred.
'Having previously represented the families of tourists killed during a helicopter tour over the Hudson River, my heart goes out to the families at this catastrophic time.'
Tried to tell one engineer working on a structural project that cost about 250 million dollars, dude, if this shit go left you know they coming to find out who worked on this and who did the maintenance. Who signed off on this? If you greenlight or deviate from things like mandated TOs (Technical Orders) or mandated Physical Security and Force Protection Standards, they will find you liable and come after you.
He apologized. An engineer? Nigga, I'm not a fucking engineer! I was a project manager. But I can't deviate from the standard. I can go above but not BELOW!
In this case, check the maintenance records and RIP to those loss. Suits will be filed.
Damn, that's some cold work. Come to NYC for vacation and wind up drowning in the Hudson River from a helicopter crash. No one survived. Rest in peace.
This happens every couple of yrs.. some ny tourist helicopter crashes into the water killing some foreigners… never trust those tourist choppers
