New York Helicopter Tours is ceasing operations following a fatal Hudson River crash last Thursday that tragically killed all six individuals on board, Fox News reports. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced the shutdown on Sunday, stating it will continue to aid the National Transportation Safety Board's (NTSB) investigation and immediately review the tour operator's license and safety record. The crash involved a Bell 206L-4 LongRanger IV helicopter, which broke apart midair and crashed near Jersey City, New Jersey. The victims included a family of five and the Navy SEAL veteran pilot. According to Fox News, “the NTSB announced Saturday that the helicopter was not equipped with any flight recorders, adding that none of the helicopter avionics onboard recorded information that could be used for the investigation. NTSB investigators started evaluating the helicopter’s flight control system, and drivers found the main fuselage, including the cockpit and cabin, forward portion of the tail boom, horizontal stabilizer finlets and vertical fin. Some of the recovered parts will be sent to the NTSB laboratories in Washington for closer inspection, according to the agency.” The NYPD is still searching for missing parts, including the main rotor, main gear box, tail rotor and a “large portion” of the tail boom. The helicopter reportedly underwent its last major inspection on March 1 and had completed seven tour flights before the crash occurred on its eighth flight of the day. The FAA, Bell Helicopter, and Rolls-Royce are assisting with the NTSB's investigation. According to the New York Times, details about the helicopter tour company began to emerge after Thursday's fatal crash showing that the charter firm was struggling financially as well as other issues. In September, the Bell 206 L-4 helicopter, which was built in 2004 and owned by a firm in Louisiana, was “found to have a mechanical problem in its main rotor gearbox, according to a service difficulty report filed with the Federal Aviation Administration. The report noted that bits of metal had been found in the oil of the helicopter’s transmission assembly, a possible sign of worn components,” the New York Times reported. “It was this helicopter that Agustín Escobar boarded on Thursday with his wife, Mercè Camprubí Montal, and their three children — Agustín, 10, Mercè, 8, and Víctor, 4 — for a tour over Manhattan. Mr. Escobar was the chief executive for rail infrastructure for the technology company Siemens, and his family was on vacation to celebrate Ms. Camprubí’s birthday.” The FAA is also analyzing airplane/helicopter hotspots nationwide and plans to host a helicopter safety panel on April 22 to discuss findings and mitigation options. The agency emphasized its commitment to safety and protecting the public.
