Rotor Found in Chopper Crash
Investigators have recovered two key pieces of a tour helicopter that crashed into the Hudson River Thursday, killing 6 people. The rotor and the roof of the aircraft have now been recovered, which could be an investigative breakthrough for the NTSB. Video from moments before the crash appears to show the main rotor of the helicopter detaching in one piece from the body of the aircraft as it falls upside down into the river, just off Jersey City. The chopper had flown past the statue of liberty, traveled north to the George Washington Bridge and back down to Jersey City, where it plummeted into the river, killing the pilot and a family of five, from Spain.
