I hope the tower operator/owner has good insurance.

Four people, including a child,

I see no point in noting that a child was on board.

Another report I read said the FAA was asking nearby residents to check their backyards for human remains.

Very sad.

On the above linked crash videos a flashing light on the tower is visible a few feet above where the helicopter struck the tower. I could discern no other tower lights. I don’t know the regs about what lights must be present, but disregarding that light seems negligent.

Why don’t helicopters fly higher then any obstacles so this does not happen?
Kobi Bryant helicopter flew below the hill tops in the fog when it was blue skies above the hilltops. They crashed.
