Last week, a helicopter operated by Sundance Helicopters crashed killing 5 people, 4 passengers and the pilot. Two of the victims were from Kansas and were in Las Vegas celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary. Sundance operated the helicopter that killed the pilot and 6 passengers in 2003. Also, the pilot in the 2003 crash was known as a "Kamikaze" and was known as a reckless pilot by co-workers. The report found that Sundance never disciplined this pilot despite his dangerous actions. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) was on the scene last week and will look into the cause of the crash.
Though helicopter rides are not necessarily an everyday occurrence for most, helicopters are motorized means of transportation and are subject to federal and state rules and regulations much like cars and trucks, which are a common part of most people's daily lives and are also at times operated recklessly and can be the cause of devastating crashes.
