[@tommyd1542]

Outstanding video Nick. You really nailed it with this one. I would like to express my most sincere condolences to the family members, friends and loved ones of the people who perished in this tragic accident. I also hope the pilot makes a speedy recovery and will be able to somehow move on with his life after experiencing such a horrific incident. Many thanks to the NYPD Harbor Patrol, Aviation, ESU, FDNY Marine Units, Fire Fighters, EMT's, Paramedics and Rescue Medics who gave their all to try and save everyone aboard.

I don't advise many people to get on these tourist helicopters especially flying over large bodies of water if you have not had at least one underwater helicopter egress training session not saying it's guaranteed to save you but it definitely will help you egress out of a aircraft while it's underwater. The people who usually get underwater egress training are the military ,offshore oil workers and Medevac EMS Crews who fly in helicopters people should consider taking a an underwater Helicopter egress training course if they insist on riding in these helicopters especially flying over large bodies of water

[@Mike6867]

Ultimate Warrior they had lots of deadly accidents in the past too

[@BROOKLYN1977]

Mike Hamilton these tourist helicopters especially in New York City have not had a great record because I remember when I was young going on the helicopter company that operated out of 34th Street FDR Drive back in 85 they had a few crashes into the river they're not safe

[@BROOKLYN1977]

Yes my dad and I also went on one of these helicopter tours back in 85 near 34th Street and I believe that they were under a different name it wasn't Liberty and there helicopters I believe were painted red and white stripe type of colors but I definitely also remember taking one of these death traps back in 85 which I was young and excited what I know now I don't think I would get back on one of these tour helicopters in New York City area

Psalm 144:1 Maccabees im not taking death chances

[@Caderic]

@@Mike6867 You take a "death chance" evey time you get on the road. You are more likely to die there than in a helicopter.

[@luchysporting1]

Nice video

[@FDNYResponseVideos]

Thanks

[@gloriaunderwood9026]

SCUBA 10-15 minutes out - thats the difference between those people living and dying! !!!!

[@Caderic]

Nah, they are already dead. Divers don't save lives they recover bodies.

[@firerino55666]

So very sad ...prayers...

[@rethablair6902]

I'm wondering who were the two that died at the scene🤔

[@carolinecopp1115]

All the people or person have the waters did they get them out of water

[@carolinecopp1115]

Nick Corman what does that mean

[@samanthayellen860]

doa dead on arrival means death code prob died of hypothermia within minutes or injury they will have to do an autopsy sad

[@carolinecopp1115]

samantha yellen thank you

[@FloridaCatholicGuy]

samantha yellen All passengers died...only survivor was the pilot.

[@samanthayellen860]

[@notthatdonald1385]

Pilot unstrapped himself and got out leaving 5 passengers. Hmm

[@Mike6867]

my only question is before the Flight Did the Pilot explain how to evacuate during an emergency? Hmmmm

[@tommyd1542]

It's mandatory for all pilots or flight attendants to explain how to evacuate any type of aircraft during an emergency. Instead of wearing regular seat belts the passengers requested to be harnessed in so they could fly with the doors open in order take unobstructed photos of N.Y. City and it's landmarks. Did the pilot explain to the passengers how to remove the complex harness systems in case of emergency? There's only one person still alive who knows the answer to both our questions..

[@Mike6867]

Donald Savage the pilot didn’t go over the entire safety instustions before takeoff

[@Mike6867]

Donald Savage He never explained the full saftey video still drives me nuts

[@rethablair6902]

I'm sure he won't never have a moment's peace for leaving them behind like that!😭😭😭😭

[@binky8501]

Why the hell do you need all these units on land. All you is marine and helos. The rest are utterly useless. Why send a collapse unit, multiple ladders, SOC and Commo support, engines..what the hell. They're just spectators

[@jonathanspinks9242]

The majority of the fire suppression rigs responding are probably marine rescue team members
