YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Kauai’s air tour operators and pilots have a tendency toward “risky weather-related operating practices,” the National Transportation Safety Board said in a letter to the Federal Aviation Administration.

This word of warning came just a week before three were killed in a helicopter crash on Kauai last month, and about five years after a crash that killed seven near Kekaha, as reporter Matthew Leonard told Hawaii News Now Sunrise. “We clearly have a problem in the state of Hawaii, and people are dying,” said U.S. Sen. Brian Schatz.

In all, 48 people have been killed in air tour accidents here since 2000. What went wrong?
