The Federal Aviation Administration has grounded the New York Helicopter Charter company following a fatal crash into the Hudson River that resulted in the death of six people, including a Siemens executive, his wife, their three children, and the pilot. The emergency order was issued after the company’s director of operations had been fired. The Bell 206 helicopter crashed on Thursday afternoon, prompting the FAA to investigate and ultimately ground the company. New York Helicopter Charter had voluntarily ceased operations after the crash. The FAA is conducting a review of the company’s operations through the Certificate Holder Evaluation Program. The investigation into the crash continues as authorities work to determine the cause of the tragic incident.
