Interesting that there was a fatal helicopter crash (Robinson R44 - 1 fatality) in South Dakota on Saturday and hardly anybody heard about it. Since this one happened in New York City, it's all over the news.

Correction - It was an R66, the new turbine powered Robinson. They've only been flying for a few months.
