Accidents like this NYC mid-air are always tragic. But at the end of the day, they are just that - fluke accidents. Let's not make more of this than it is.
How do we yet know this was a 'fluke accident'?! As a 'lawyer', I would have expected you of all people to want to be in possession of all the facts before passing such a flippant comment.


Debbie Hersman (NTSB Chairman) quote:

Liberty Helicopter Sightseeing Tours, since 1995, has had eight accidents and one "incident," after which the NTSB made a number of safety recommendations, Hersman said.
"I think the fact that we are here today shows there is a lot of work that still needs to be done," she said.
Now THAT was well said
