On April 10, 2025, a Bell 206 "LongRanger IV" crashed itself. All six or seven souls aboard were sent directly to heaven, except for the pilot. The pilot was sent to hell. This is the story of the 2025 Hudson River helicopter crash.
Background[edit | edit source]
The helicopter, built in 2004, was apparently from Louisiana. For some reason, some idiot from New York decided to lease the helicopter for a ride with five or six other people.
The crash[edit | edit source]
At approximately 3:17 p.m., after a routine tour around Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty, the helicopter burst into flames due to the power of Lady Liberty's torch. It would later crash into the Hudson River, as the incident suggests. No one survived.
Investigation[edit | edit source]
The NTSB, FAA, Bell Textron, and Rolls-Royce all showed up, looked very serious, and took the broken bits back to their lair in Washington. Sadly, no flight recorders, no cameras, and no TikTok live streams were found, meaning everyone just had to guess what went wrong. Actually, at the end of the day, it's just the fact that the pilot was being an idiot. As mentioned, he had multiple violations in his hands.
Aftermath[edit | edit source]
A new law was signed so that all helicopters must be leased from New York or nearby. Also, any helicopter tour must not involve attempting to crash into the Hudson River.
Reactions[edit | edit source]
President Donald Trump posted thoughts and prayers on Truth Social, blaming windmills and chemtrails somehow. Former NYC mayor Eric Adams was "deeply saddened," while company owner Roth said, "Oops." This has been compared to Kobe Bryant's helicopter crash in the East Coast, except there are no famous basketball players and their children aboard.
