Video footage captures helicopter crash in New York: All six onboard deceased, has America's new wave of aviation accidents begun? At 3:17 PM Eastern Time on the 10th, a helicopter carrying six people crashed into the Hudson River near Lower Manhattan, New York City. Reports indicate that all six individuals onboard have perished. The passengers were from a Spanish family, with two adults and three children losing their lives, equivalent to a massacre in America. From the video, the weather at the scene was merely overcast, without strong winds or heavy rain. Prior to the suspected crash into the river, the main rotor of the helicopter had already detached from the fuselage, indicating that the helicopter had lost any means of lift and could only plummet at high speed towards the river surface. If this were solely due to mechanical failure, the pilot might have been able to maneuver the helicopter to make an emergency landing on the water surface. This type of incident where the rotor detaches directly suggests a sudden severe failure of critical components, which may be due to manufacturing issues or related to maintenance post-delivery. Is this accident the starting point for America's new wave of aviation incidents?
