Bird strike may have caused NYC helicopter crash that killed 6, NTSB says

A tragic helicopter crash in New York City that killed six people might have been caused by a bird strike, according to the NTSB. Helicopters, especially those flying at low altitudes, are particularly vulnerable to such incidents, which can lead to engine failure and catastrophic outcomes. This incident underscores the risks faced by low-flying aircraft and highlights the need for better safety protocols and bird control measures in busy urban airspaces. The findings carry significant implications for aviation safety and emergency response strategies.
