Re: Sightseeing Helicopter Crashes into Manhattan's East River
Looked like a good, auto rotation into the water, not "out of control"! News reporter should know the difference between 'ascend' and 'descend'  |

Re: Sightseeing Helicopter Crashes into Manhattan's East River
Cant imagine the terror for those poor people trapped upside down whilst they drowned. Avoidable accidental deaths if they had quick release seat harnesses. There should have been knives to hand and the pilot should have briefed them to try and unbuckle as soon as they touched down. The man at Air traffic control asking if he wanted assistance WTF? The Pilot replied "It was a Mayday Call"... Should have added "You Stupid Cunt". |

The passengers did have cutters, but it appears that the restraints hindered their exit nonetheless. NTSB report: https://ntsb.gov/investigations/Acci...ts/ASR1802.pdf |

Re: Sightseeing Helicopter Crashes into Manhattan's East River
its a helicopter with controls all around, not a school bus. Check out the chinhook that crashed due to co-pilot's ipad coming loose and jamming the rudder controls..
