The recent helicopter crash into the Hudson River might boil down to a single part failing, an aviation expert said.
On Thursday, a Bell 206 helicopter crashed shortly after departing on a sightseeing tour from Manhattan, New York.
Footage showed the damaged aircraft plummeting into the Hudson, killing all of the occupants, including Spanish business executive Agustín Escobar, his wife, Merce Camprubi Montal, and their three young children.
The pilot, Navy SEAL veteran Sean Johnson, also died in the crash, according to People.
