Federal investigators have concluded that a bird strike likely caused a devastating helicopter crash into the Hudson River in New York City last year. According to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the collision with a bird or birds may have led to the loss of control of the aircraft, resulting in the tragic accident. The NTSB's findings are based on a thorough investigation into the incident, which involved a helicopter carrying tourists over the Hudson River when it suddenly plummeted into the water. The crash, which occurred in June 2023, raised concerns about aviation safety and the risks associated with bird strikes, which are a growing concern for pilots and air traffic controllers worldwide.
