IrishLass Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Splashed into the Hudson with a missing tail and missing rotor. The thing seemed to be falling apart midair. Maybe it hit something? Horrible way to go, it smashed into the water upside down, killing two parents, three kids and the pilot. 2

Wacka Posted April 12 Posted April 12 That exact copter had transmission problems in August. Also the company had to replace the maim rotor blades because of delamitation.
stevestojan Posted April 12 Posted April 12 When I lived in Hoboken there were adds for this everywhere. $30 was the cheapest ride. Mind you it was 6 minutes. But something about paying less than $100 to step foot on a helicopter seemed off to me - not the place I want to pinch pennies. Sad story, hope it was quick and they passed on impact rather than drowning. Awful. 1
