A harrowing video from inside a doors-off sightseeing helicopter that crashed in a New York City river last year shows doomed passengers struggling to free themselves from harnesses as the aircraft fills with water, federal investigators said Monday.
'How do I cut this?' one passenger asks, just 13 seconds before the helicopter becomes completely submerged in the East River in March 2018.
The National Transportation Safety Board made a transcript of the video public on Monday, but the footage itself was not provided.
It was taken from a GoPro camera mounted on the cabin ceiling. Investigators had been looking at whether the harnesses hindered passengers' escape from the helicopter, which flipped over and quickly sank.
