NYC chopper crash pilot was experienced

The man at the helm of a private helicopter that crashed into the East River, killing one passenger and injuring three others, was an experienced commercial pilot who owns a company that manages a local airport. Investigators are still trying to determine why the helicopter went down shortly after takeoff from a riverbank heliport. Emergency crews arived quickly to see the helicopter overturned in the water. The pilot was very experience once landing a plane in a field near coney island after its engine failed. The passengers were friends of the pilots who were in New York for there anniversery.
