A devastating helicopter crash that claimed the lives of six people in the Hudson River last year may have been caused by a bird strike, according to preliminary findings from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). The tragic incident occurred on January 8, 2023, when a sightseeing helicopter crashed into the icy waters of the Hudson River, sending shockwaves through the city. The NTSB investigation has now revealed that there are indications of a bird strike, which could have been a contributing factor to the crash. As the investigation continues, families and loved ones of the victims are seeking answers and accountability.
