Doomed helicopter in Hudson River crash was on eighth flight of day and lacked flight recorder: officials
Briefly

On Thursday, a Bell 206 L-4 helicopter tragically crashed into the Hudson River, killing six people including a family of five from Spain. This was the helicopter's eighth flight of the day, and it was noted that it lacked important safety equipment such as flight recorders. Investigators are now scrutinizing the wreckage, which has been sent to NTSB laboratories for further examination, while the cause of the crash remains undetermined. The last major inspection of the helicopter was conducted on March 1.
The investigation is ongoing, but officials revealed the helicopter was not equipped with flight or video recorders, raising concerns about accountability.
All pieces of wreckage from the tragic craft are being transported to NTSB laboratories in Washington DC as part of the investigation, which still has not determined a cause.
