In a heartbreaking update just released 20 minutes ago, the family of the NYC helicopter pilot involved in the tragic Hudson River crash has revealed a chilling detail that’s sending shockwaves through the aviation and local communities.
According to the pilot’s family, a shocking final radio message was transmitted just minutes before the crash. The message, partially garbled due to interference, reportedly said:
“The helicopter has been…”
While the rest of the communication remains unclear, the family claims investigators are now closely analyzing the audio to determine whether it was cut off due to mechanical failure, loss of control, or possible sabotage.
What We Know So Far
The crash occurred yesterday afternoon, when a commercial helicopter suddenly plunged into the Hudson River during a routine sightseeing flight. Eyewitnesses reported hearing unusual rotor noises followed by visible smoke before the aircraft went down.
Emergency crews responded within minutes. Miraculously, all passengers survived, but the pilot was reported missing and later confirmed deceased after a deep-water recovery operation.
Family Speaks Out
The pilot’s brother, Michael Reyes, said in a press briefing this morning:
“We’ve been working with investigators and reviewing the final transmissions. The message, ‘The helicopter has been…’ was the last thing he ever said. We don’t know what he was trying to communicate, but we believe it holds critical clues about what happened.”
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) are now prioritizing the recovery of the aircraft’s black box and onboard communication systems.
Public Reaction & Ongoing Investigation
News of the final message has gone viral, with speculation swirling on social media platforms. Hashtags like #HudsonCrash, #NYCChopperTragedy, and #PilotLastWords are trending nationwide.
Aviation experts say the abruptness of the message could suggest an immediate and catastrophic failure, possibly electrical or structural in nature. However, they caution against drawing conclusions until full analysis is completed.
Conclusion
This shocking new revelation adds a layer of mystery and urgency to an already devastating event. As the investigation unfolds, the world watches and waits for answers.
