An NYC helicopter that crashed and killed 6 last year shows signs of bird strike, safety board says

A sightseeing helicopter that crashed into the Hudson River in New York City last year, killing six people, shows signs of a bird strike, according to the National Transportation Safety Board. Evidence including bird remains on the wreckage and witness reports suggest the helicopter struck several geese before the crash. The Federal Aviation Administration notes helicopters are particularly vulnerable to bird strikes due to low-altitude flights.
