A tourist helicopter that crashed into New York City’s Hudson River last month, killing all six people on board, broke into three major pieces before descending rapidly, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said on Wednesday.
The Bell 206 chopper, operated by New York Helicopter Tours, departed on April 10 at 2:58 p.m. ET from a downtown Manhattan helicopter pad and flew north over the Hudson River before crashing about 17 minutes later, the NTSB said in a report.
