SHOCKING new photos of the Hudson River helicopter crash shows the horrifying moment everything went wrong.
Images of the crash that killed six people during a helicopter tour of New York have been released in a preliminary report by the National Transportation Safety Board.
The horrific crash happened on April 10 at 3:17 pm, when a helicopter fell into the Hudson River by Lower Manhattan in New York City.
The crash is believed to have been caused by a mechanical failure with the rotor system, which forced the helicopter to break apart.
The harrowing images show the devastating sequence of how the helicopter broke up.
First, the helicopter's tail breaks away from the fuselage and rotor blades before both blades separate from the fuselage.
The final image shows the fuselage nose-diving into the river.
According to the report, the aircraft was not equipped with any photo or audio devices, which would give investigators a better understanding of what happened.
However, the pilot was reportedly wearing a pair of sunglasses that had video and audio recording capability.
Unfortunately, those sunglasses were not recovered.
HUDSON HORROR
The helicopter was giving a tour of Lower Manhattan to a family visiting from Barcelona, Spain, when it crashed.
European automation executive Agustin Escobar, his wife, Merce Camprubi Montal, and their children, aged 4, 5, and 11 years old, were killed in the crash alongside the pilot, 36, ABC News reported.
The malfunction occurred 15 minutes after takeoff, just as the aircraft reached the George Washington Bridge.
"Our hearts go out to the family and those on board," New York City Mayor Eric Adams said following the accident.
