NYC and those pesky helicopters

While I actually DO like helicopters, one of the funniest statements I've seen about them is:
"Helicopters don't actually fly. They are so damned ugly that the Earth repels them"
"Helicopters don't actually fly. They are so damned ugly that the Earth repels them"
So from what I have “gleaned” from purported experts and the videos, it seems likely the transmission suddenly seized.
That spun the aircraft violently causing the tail to snap off due to the air resistance of the tail fin.
Momentum meeting resistance, the rotors ripped the transmission from the aircraft.
This is my completely uneducated guess at this point. Smarter minds than me will no doubt punch holes in my theory.

Good question. The tour company has been shut down by the FAA after senior management resigned.
Purportedly these tours are allow to operate under some “loopholes” that are not as strict as in other commercial operations.
This would be my guess. Didn’t we read somewhere above in the thread that the helicopter had been serviced for transmission issues just a few weeks ago?
It will be interesting What it turns out to be but I’m with you on this one.
