Summary
Federal officials released images of a sightseeing helicopter that crashed in New York City on April 10, killing six people, including a family from Barcelona. The preliminary report from the NTSB revealed that the helicopter, operated by New York Helicopter, suffered a midair breakup, likely due to mechanical issues, and the pilot, Seankese Johnson, had limited experience with the aircraft type. The crash has raised concerns about the safety of aerial tours in New York, as it marked the fifth commercial helicopter accident in the region since 2005.
