YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

It's too early to say what happened to the sightseeing helicopter that crashed into the Hudson River in New York City, killing all six people on board, but aviation experts said a failure may have caused the aircraft's rotor to detach, leaving no chance for recovery.

The crash the afternoon of April 10 was seen on video, and appears to show the helicopter careening into the water followed by a rotor moments later.

A family of five from Spain, which included Siemens executive Agustin Escobar, his wife and three children, along with a pilot, were all killed, authorities said. The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board are still investigating the cause of the crash.
