New York Helicopter Tours, an operator of a helicopter who crashed into the Hudson River in New York on Thursday, April 10, killed a five -member family and a pilot, according to the United States Federal Administration (FAA).
On Sunday, FAA announced that New York Helicopter Tours, which operated Bell 206 Chopper, “immediately closes his operations.” The agency also stated that it will initiate an immediate review of the company’s license and security record.
New York Helicopter Tours “immediately closes its operations,” said the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in a statement published on the Social Media platform on Sunday.
“FAA will start an immediate review of the License and Security Record of the Tour operator,” the aviation regulator said.
The National Transport Safety Council (NTSB) is investigating the cause of the helicopter crash that occurred during the flight over Manhattan.
In a tragic incident, a senior business manager, his wife and three children together with the pilot, was killed when the helicopter operated in New York did not work and plunged into the Hudson River shortly after take -off.
The operator described the tour as “Ultimate Sightseeing Tour after New York”.
Jersey City officials said AFP that possible causes of accidents include a collision of drones, a strike of birds or mechanical failure.
No flight recorder
On Saturday, NTSB said the helicopter had no flight recorders and the incident did not catch any video or data recording devices.
Investigators said that NYPD divers continue to look for parts of the helicopter, including the main rotor, gearbox, tail rotor and tail boom.
It seems that the video circulating on social media shows the torso that apparently separates from the middle air.
The accident aroused concerns about the safety of aviation in the US and came only months after a number of fatal accidents, including a collision between a military helicopter and a personal beam in Washington in January, which claimed 67 lives.
Three people die in an accident in Florida
On Friday, April 11, a light aircraft crashed after takeoff from Boca Raton Airport in Florida and three people killed according to local media news. Investigators suspect a mechanical problem.
