Helicopter Crash NYC: US ​​Senate Minority Leader Shumor demanded a crackdown on NYC helicopter tours after Hudson Crash Kills Six

After the deadly helicopter of last week crashed into the Hudson River, in which six people were killed, American Senate minority leader Chak Shumar is calling for immediate action from federal regulations.
The New York Senator Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is urging to cancel the operating license of the New York Helicopter, the tour company whose aircraft broke a few minutes after the Midair. Shumar is expected to say in Sunday press briefing, “Rules under Part 91 are not strict when people are on the life line,” Shumar is expected to say in Sunday press briefing.
The chopper, which was on its eighth flight of the day, was working under the “Part 91” license, which is a category with more liberal security requirements.
According to the New York Post, Shumar has planned to argue that this license type lacks rigorous training and maintenance standards that are mandatory under commercial rules. He said that these flaws put passengers at greater risk, especially in urban areas with densely populated like New York.
He is also pressurizing the FAA to promote ramp inspections in all tour operators, including Flynians, which is already a company under investigation after the 2018 East River Crash in which five passengers were killed.
According to the New York Post, recently a jury ruling found Flineon responsible for that incident.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), who is now leading the investigation of Thursday’s accident, said the helicopter went down to less than 20 minutes after departing from Manhattan Helipport.
The witnesses saw the aircraft smoking before the spiral in Hudson. The chilling video crashed parts of the rotors in the river at various points.
All six ships died, including pilot Scene Johnson, a 36 -year -old Navy veteran and five Spanish tourists from the same family. The victim Agustin Escobar, a Siemens executive, his wife Marse Camprub Montal, and his children, Agustin, 10; Mercedes, 8; And Víctor, 4.
He arrived in New York from Barcelona that day.
While the exact cause of the accident is still unknown, experts suspect that a mechanical mistake may have attacked the main rotor of the helicopter on its tail, a landscape that would cause immediate midar disintegration.
According to the new agency Associated Press, NTSB has confirmed that significant components such as transmission and rotors are still missing, and no definite conclusions will be drawn until they are recovered.
The New York helicopter, including the company, is a disturbed track record. In 2013, one of its helicopters lost power mid-flight, although the pilot managed a safe emergency landing. The firm has announced bankruptcy in the past and has faced cases on unpaid loans. FAA records suggest that the crashed aircraft was built in 2004 and was only a documented transmission issue last year.
