Post Las Vegas helicopter crash

A helicopter crash killed 5 people on Wednesday; the four passengers and a pilot were on a tour with Sundance Helicopters of Las Vegas when the helicopter went down near Lake Mead. One of the couples was celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary. It's not clear yet what caused the crash, but Sundance has an excellent safety record and the pilot had a clean safety record as well.

Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the victims. We wish them the best.

Default Sundance helicopter crash

This is terrible, R.I.P to everyone involved but for what I've been reading this fatal crash had to do with the pilot. According to a news article, they have stated that 'the probable cause of the accident was the pilot’s disregard safety and flying to close to the canyon wall.

Default Vegas helicopter crash could've been avoided

It's shocking news about this crash but there were already complaints about the pilot in 2001 who was even named "Kamizaze". In fact, there is video evidence to support that the pilot would fly very close to canyon walls, and performing risky manoeuvres. All my thoughts to the families involved...
