Re: NEW YORK | Helicopter Loses Rotors and Crashes into Hudson River — 6 Dead
The damage appears to be consistent with mast bumping which is apparently a risk with Bell 206 and similar helicopters. This video explains the phenomenon and seems to exactly predict the damage that is seen in this NY heli crash. |

I wonder if they were killed from the impact, or if they drowned.

The force that hit the water, if they were not killed instantly, they would definitely have been knocked unconscious, then drowned, i don't even want to think about the parents trying to console their kids as it plummeted to the water

Some maintenance person just threw away the Jesus pin they found lying on the work bench in the hangar.

Re: NEW YORK | Helicopter Loses Rotors and Crashes into Hudson River — 6 Dead
They DID report that divers quickly recovered some of the victims, and at least TWO of them were still alive at that time, got loaded into ambulances, and either died en-route to the nearest hospital, or just as soon as they arrived at the hospital.  |
Seriously. It looks like it was shot down missing the whole tail section. Crashed!?! Full plummet with zero controllability.
