NEW YORK - Federal investigators on Tuesday sifted through the wreckage of a helicopter atop a Manhattan skyscraper and interviewed witnesses, seeking to determine why the aircraft crashed on the roof a day earlier, killing the pilot.
The crash and subsequent evacuation of the building stirred memories of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks and brought renewed calls for tighter restrictions for New York City airspace. U.S. Representative Carolyn Maloney, who represents parts of Manhattan, said she wanted all “nonessential” flights banned. The passenger said there was “nothing out of the ordinary” about his encounter with McCormack, said Brazy, of the National Transportation Safety Board .
“Should the helicopter have been flying? I don’t know yet,” he said. “We’ve got some information that the pilot may have tried to make radio calls near the end of the flight. We’re tying to confirm that now.” A flight data recorder and a cockpit recorder were not required and were not installed on the helicopter. Investigators are searching for instruments that were aboard the helicopter that contain memory, Brazy said.
