The helicopter’s rotor was broken in half, the tail was
severed, and the cockpit was crushed.

A spokesman for the helicopter company said that the
Federal Aviation Administration and the National
Transportation Safety Board have instructed employees
not to comment outside the company.




why am I not surprised at no one being allowed to talk, it
does appear that this report is a little different, can't say that I have found them shutting down info quite like this in a simple crash before.
