Summary
A tourist helicopter carrying a Spanish family of five and a pilot crashed into the Hudson River near Lower Manhattan, killing all 6 aboard, including 3 children.
The Bell 206 helicopter plunged into the water inverted, missing its rotor blades, just over 15 minutes after departing the Wall St. Heliport.
Witnesses described loud noises and parts falling off before impact.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating, and Jersey City officials renewed calls for tighter air traffic safety.

I feel bad only for the kids. The parents were rich leeches who were getting rich from putting poor people out of work.
I’ve never heard of Siemens referred to as an “automation company”.
That’s technically true but they’re much more into heavy industry. They build power plants, trains, ports and industrial automation equipment. They’ve had to lay off some of their own employees but I’m not aware of any cases of their business putting other people out of work.
Industrial automation… like PLCs.
They haven’t put anyone put of a job since the age of elevator operators.
Tighten your Jesus nut
Don’t forget the tie wire…
Ah the efficiency
