NY 30th Street AS355/EC130 Incident

Anyone got the scoop on a Liberty Helicopters incident in the big apple? Stories of tail stinger being severed and punched through a wall missing a waiting passenger by inches. Heliport is now closed and aircraft being trucked offsite.

Were there 3 aircraft involved in this then ? The first report states a As355 lifted into a EC130 & the second report states a EC135 lifted into a EC130. ???

Typo in the NTSB-report

ROTOCRAFT ON TAKE OFF FROM WEST 30TH STREET HELIPORT, STRUCK N456AE, AN
EC130, NEW YORK CITY, NY
The AS-355: N406LH, apperently on take-off struck the other helicopter: N456AE an EC-130B4, not a 135 as the second report says.
