Bird Strike Likely Caused Helicopter Crash | Australia News
Description
A bird strike likely caused the deadly April 2025 tourist helicopter crash into the Hudson River, killing all six aboard—including Siemens executive Agustin Escobar. The NTSB confirmed evidence of a bird impact, with witnesses reporting loud bangs and nearby geese taking flight. This tragedy adds to a troubling pattern: a 2018 East River chopper crash with an open door, and a January 2025 plane-helicopter collision near D.C. that killed 67. The FAA is now tightening helicopter safety rules nationwide.
