Tragedy on the Hudson: New Details Emerge in Fatal Helicopter Crash A devastating helicopter crash that claimed the lives of five people in the Hudson River last year has been attributed to a likely bird strike by investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). The findings, released in a recent report, suggest that a collision with a bird may have caused the helicopter's engine failure, leading to the catastrophic accident. The crash occurred on October 10, 2022, in one of the world's busiest waterways, and the NTSB's determination is a significant development in the ongoing investigation. As authorities continue to scrutinize the circumstances surrounding the tragedy, the NTSB's conclusion sheds new light on the possible causes of the deadly crash.
