NTSB finds evidence of bird strike before fatal New York helicopter crash WASHINGTON, July 16 (Reuters) - The National Transportation Safety Board said Thursday it found evidence of a bird strike before a tourist helicopter plummeted upside down into New York City's Hudson River in April 2025 killing all six people on board.
The accident killed a Spanish family with three children, including Agustin Escobar, CEO of Rail Infrastructure at Siemens Mobility, the train transportation arm of Germany-based technology company Siemens SIEGn.DE. The NTSB said it had validated evidence of a bird strike on the Bell 206L-4 tourist helicopter.
