One person died and two others were injured when a Robinson R44 helicopter crashed into Biscayne Bay near Miami on Wednesday. The helicopter, which was chartered for filming boats, went down shortly before noon. The deceased individual was pronounced dead despite efforts by Miami firefighters. The two injured men were transported to a hospital for treatment. The cause of the crash is under investigation by the FAA and NTSB. This incident occurred just days after a private jet crash in Palm Beach County, which resulted in nine fatalities.
The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office reported that the helicopter was found upside down in the water with emergency flotation devices deployed. Local agencies, the U.S. Coast Guard, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection responded to the scene. The identities of the occupants have not been released. The FAA and NTSB will lead the investigation into the cause of the crash, which remains unclear.
