The Federal Aviation Administration has grounded New York Helicopter Charter, the company responsible for the sightseeing tour that crashed into the Hudson River last week, killing all six people on board. This decision was made in part because the company’s director of operations had been fired. The Bell 206 helicopter crashed into the Hudson River at 3:17 p.m. on Thursday, resulting in the deaths of Siemens executive Agustín Escobar, his wife, their three children, and the pilot. New York Helicopter Charter had voluntarily shut down flights after the crash, and the FAA is conducting a review of the company’s operations through the Certificate Holder Evaluation Program. The investigation into the crash is ongoing.
