In this era when smartphones are at the ready and videotapes of current events are ubiquitous, the National Transportation Safety Board’s (NTSB) request to the public is not that surprising.
The NTSB is looking for videos that show different angles of the March 11, 2018 accident in which a helicopter plunged into New York City’s East River. Five people were killed and the pilot injured when the Liberty Helicopters craft hit the water and rolled.
The cause of the fatal Virginia State Patrol helicopter crash in Charlottesville, Virginia has not yet been determined, although investigators have been able to rule out a few possibilities as they examine the wreckage.
