[g0nbad real bad]

It didn't look like it hit that hard. Damn

 

[dik cashmere]

Too cold and too much wind to be in a helicopter. Condolences to the victims

 

[praetor]

It didn't look like it hit that hard. Damn

It didn't look that bad to me either, though I wouldn't want to be in there.

Is it possible that some of them drowned?

Water was 50 feet deep

the crash did not kill them the safety harnesses they had on they could not get out of so they drowned.. I guess the pilot had more experience and knew how to get free

the crash did not kill them the safety harnesses they had on they could not get out of so they drowned.. I guess the pilot had more experience and knew how to get free

I guess “Captain going down with the ship” doesn’t apply to pilots.

 

[Ceenote]

messed up

 

[playahaitian]

Condolences to the family

I'm not sure I have ever been in a helicopter.

 

[cli-terminator]

Damn all the passengers died. Only the pilot survived. I see a huge lawsuit coming

You gotta get out of your harness first to help the others...and if the shit sank to fast to get to them.

Thats what I think. The impact was nothing.

I did the helicopter thing once. The Grand Canyon tour. Shit was amazing, but Id never do it again. A helicopter just crashed there some months ago.

Damn. Condolences to family if those lost.

Sounds like another safety measure needs to be added like a sensor on the seat to release the belts if it gets wet.

 

[playahaitian]

Fam ..

Sometimes the world just speeds by.



I swear I forget posts all the time.

I might have been in a helicopter ride, or a prop or something

Ok you know what?

I been on one.

 

[cli-terminator]

Helicopter rides are cool but if you have a weak stomach I wouldn't recommend it cuz you feel every bit of turbulence and them swirling winds are unforgiving around them NY waters.

 

[Mr. Del]

Always wanted to do the heli tour over nyc but never pulled the plug. Thought about doing one over LA to the hollywood sign, but ppl always telling me how unsafe it is. We had a few crashes over the years in nyc with those tour helicopters, this isn't the first time. Might as well keep my black ass on solid ground.

 

[safado]

Condolences ....

Two things always wanted to do in NYC, yet fear of the east river.
1. Roosevelt Tram
2. Helicopter tour..

pilot is really lucky to be alive - the current was no joke, and the water is ice cold - if he didn't have a life jacket / preserver - I don't know how he didn't drown

.

in the vid rescuers were saying the current took the helicopter over 20 blocks south of where they were and it was still moving

Exactly ViCiouS....and everyone is quick to forget....that pilot gets in & out of his harness thousands of times....the passengers once...maybe twice....and per witnesses...the copter flipped over in minutes !!!!
