On October 4, 2011 a Helicopter holding five people crashed in New York’s East River, leaving one dead.
Although the exact cause of the accident has not yet been determined, Mayor Bloomberg told press "the helicopter was inverted, upside down.”
Before rescue teams showed up, four out five of the members aboard were able to get out including the pilot. The fifth person was a woman who was trapped inside, causing her to die.
The mayor claims that the helicopter did not have any “flotation device.” The helicopter was seen floating in the water as dozens of people looked on from the water’s edge.
