The tourist operator of New York City of a helicopter that crashed last week on the Hudson River, killing the six on board, is closing the operations immediately.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) made the announcement on Sunday night in X.
He said he was launching “an IMEDIATED REVIEW” of the license and the security history of New York Helicopter Tours while supporting the investigation of the National Transportation Security Board (NTSB) in the accident.
UPI reports that the announcement occurred after the senate minority leader, Chuck Schumer (DN.Y) asked the federal authorities on early Sunday to stop the capacity of New York helicopter tours to operate and guarantee that others like him are safe.
“We know that there is a safe thing about helicopter tours companies in New York City: they have a deadly history,” said a press conference with the Hudson Beind River.
“One of the things we can do to honor those lives and try to save others is to make sure that it does not become infected again.”
Five Spanish tourists and a pilot died on Thursday afternoon when the helicopter on board crashed into the Hudson River, as Breitbart News reported.
The victims have been identified as Agustin Escobar, a senior Siemens executive, his wife, Merce Camprubi Montal, his three young children and the pilot SANKESE JOHNSON.
The video of the crash that circulates online shows the helicopter that crashes against the water body after its main rotor and the tail broke in half of the separate flight.
Schumer said the NTSB is implementing various in search of the main rotor and the set of gear, “which will give many clues about what happened.”
The clash has provided another light on the security of American aviation after a series of fatal accidents, including collision between a military helicopter and a plane in Washington in January that charged 67 lives, AP reports.
A light plane also crashed after the airport of the department of Boca Mouse in Florida on Friday, with the local media that reported that three people had died on their legs after the plane developed a mechanical problem.
