NTSB Investigative Update on Jersey City Helicopter Crash

Excerpt:  “Key components of the Bell 206 L-4 helicopter that crashed into the Hudson River last week were recovered Monday, greatly aiding the National Transportation Safety Board’s investigation into the fatal accident. Divers from the New York Police Department worked with the United States Army Corps of Engineers and the Jersey City Office of Emergency Management to find, recover and secure the helicopter’s main rotor system, including the transmission, and the roof beam. They also recovered the tail rotor system. The evidence will be taken to a secure location for further examination. Recovery efforts are now finished. The NTSB continues to ask witnesses to the crash who may have video or photos of any aspect of the accident sequence or have information that could be relevant to the investigation to email the NTSB at witness@ntsb.gov.”
