The helicopter that crashed into New York City’s Hudson River on Thursday – killing all six on board, including three children – lacked flight recorders, said the US’s National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).

It was also on its eighth tour flight of the day, having already completed seven, according to federal investigators.

No video or camera recorders have been recovered from the Bell 206 helicopter, the NTSB said in an update late on Saturday – and none of the equipment on it had recorded information that would help the investigation.
New York police divers were continuing to search for parts of the helicopter, including the main rotor, gear box, tail rotor and the tail boom, the safety agency said.

The aircraft had its last major inspection done on 1 March.

Divers recovered the victims as well as the pilot from the submerged helicopter. Four people were declared dead at the scene while the remaining two died later after they were transported to nearby hospitals.

The passengers killed in the crash were senior Siemens executive Agustín Escobar, his wife, Mercè Camprubí (who was celebrating her 40th birthday), and their three children aged 10, eight and four. The pilot Seankese Johnson, a Navy veteran, was also killed.

Some parts that have been recovered and sent to NTSB laboratories in Washington for inspection include the cockpit, cabin, horizontal stabilizer finlets, the vertical fin and a portion of the tail boom, according to the NTSB update.

Investigators examined two similar helicopters as part of the probe and met with representatives of New York Helicopter Charter, the operator of the crashed chopper, to review operational records, policies and procedures, safety management systems and the pilot’s experience, the agency said.

The chief executive of the operator told the UK’s Telegraph that the pilot was landing and had indicated that he needed fuel sometime before the crash – though he made it clear he does not know exactly why aircraft came down.

The helicopter took off at about 3pm local time on Thursday from a downtown helicopter pad and flew north along the Hudson, New York police commissioner Jessica Tisch has said.

After reaching the George Washington Bridge, it turned south but crashed shortly afterwards, hitting the water upside down near lower Manhattan, just off Jersey City, at about 3.15pm.

It was one of at least three deadly aviation crashes to generate news headlines in the US in recent days.

Photos reveal mangled wreckage of private plane that crashed in upstate NY, killing family of doctors, athletes
The remains of the Mitsubishi MU-2B-40 are scattered in pieces across a field in Copake, NY.​While the pilot requested directions for a second attempt from air traffic controllers, the tower indicated a “low altitude alert” and lost contact with the plane.
Within moments, the small plane crashed in the field, National Transportation Safety Board investigator Albert Nixon said at a press conference Sunday.
The federal agency is continuing to investigate the accident.

A small plane appeared to have struck a power line before it crashed into the Platte River in Nebraska and killed all three people aboard, according to the National Transportation Safety Board. Few details are available about the Friday evening crash because it is early in the NTSB investigation.
Investigators will examine the maintenance records for the 71-year-old Cessna 180 for any sign of mechanical problems that could have contributed to the crash.
The Dodge County Sheriff’s office identified the three people killed in the crash as Daniel Williams, 43, of Moundridge, Kansas; Jeff Bittinger, 50; and Randy Amrein, 48. Both Bittinger and Amrein lived in Fremont, Nebraska.

April 25, 2025,
A small police plane crashed into the sea near a popular beach town in Thailand, killing at least five people on board, officials said.
The plane was conducting a test flight to prepare for parachute training in Hua Hin district before it crashed around 8 a.m., said Royal Thai Police spokesperson Archayon Kraithong.
Officials did not immediately share the model of the propeller plane, but photos from the scene appear to show a Viking DHC-6 Twin Otter. The plane crashed near Hua Hin Airport, said the public relations department of Prachuab Kiri Khan province.
The photos show the plane in the sea about 100 meters (330 feet) off shore. The body of the plane appeared to be broken in two.
There were six people on board, all police officers, Archayon said. He initially said that five people died at the scene and one died at the hospital, but later revised the death toll to five, saying the officer who was sent to the hospital remained in critical condition but alive.
The cause of the crash was not immediately known. Archayon said officials are gathering evidence including data from the plane’s black box.

World-renowned stunt pilot Rob Holland, 50, died Thursday morning when his MX Aircraft MXS crashed during approach to Langley Air Force Base, according to a statement posted on his official Facebook page.



According to the schedule on UltimateAirshows.com, and first reported by Flying Magazine, Holland was set to perform this weekend at the Air Power Over Hampton Roads airshow, flying his MXS-RH—a custom, all-carbon fiber, single-seat aerobatic aircraft he had been competing in since 2011.

A post on Holland's Facebook page said, "It is with the heaviest of hearts that I am sharing that Rob Holland lost his life today, 24 April 2025, in an accident at Langley AFB, VA. The cause of the crash is not known at this time, and is under investigation by the FAA, NTSB, and DOD. Rob was one of the most respected and inspiring aerobatic pilots in aviation history. Even with an absolutely impressive list of accomplishments, both in classical competition aerobatics and within the air show world, Rob was the most humble person with a singular goal to simply be better than he was yesterday. We would greatly appreciate your respect to the privacy of his family and friends. And remember.... Never ever give up on your dreams. Blue skies"

On April 28, 2025, at 1:57 pm, the Alaska State Troopers received multiple 911 calls about a plane crash in Nanwalek near the airport. The Alaska State Troopers began responding to the scene as first responders and good samaritans in Nanwalek began assessing the three adults on the airplane and providing medical assistance. One adult male passenger was medevaced to an Anchorage area hospital with serious injuries, and the two other occupants were killed in the crash. Troopers and NTSB investigators arrived in Nanwalek on DPS HELO 3 and identified the deceased adults as 48-year-old Homer resident and pilot Daniel Bunker and 37-year-old Anchorage resident Jenny Miller. The NTSB has begun an investigation into the cause of the crash. Miller and Bunker’s next of kin have been notified and their bodies have been sent to the State Medical Examiner’s Office for autopsy. The Alaska State Troopers would like to thank Guardian Flight, Lifemed, Maritime Helicopters, the US Coast Guard, and the Alaska State Park Rangers for their assistance with the crash.
