I'd like to know more about the crash, but the information wasn't given.
It goes without saying that winds in mountainous ares and canyons can be .... DEADLY !

I researched the weather data for the South Rim of the Canyon at the time of the incident.
Temp: 46F; Wind: West 9 mph Gusts 18 mph Sky: Clear

Normally not a problem for flying. BUT who knows what went on.

Helo’s have the glide path of a rock if the blades stop turning.
