Initial Report Released in Logan County Helicopter Crash

The National Transportation Safety Board released its preliminary report on the June 22 fatal helicopter crash in Logan County. WCHS TV said the NTSB is not assigning a cause for the accident. Instead, it’s more of a description of the crash scene and the condition in which investigators found the Bell UH-1B helicopter. Six people died when the Vietnam War-era chopper crashed on its final flight of the day as part of the “Seventh Annual Huey Reunion.” Investigators are focusing on three areas: The pilot, the helicopter and the operating environment. It’s expected the final report will attempt to unravel why the helicopter went down, and that could take several more weeks.
