SHOCKING new photos of the Hudson River helicopter crash shows the horrifying moment everything went wrong.

The National Transportation Safety Board has released preliminary images of the helicopter crash that claimed the lives of six individuals during a tour over New York.

The horrific crash happened on April 10 at 3:17 pm, when a helicopter fell into the Hudson River by Lower Manhattan in New York City.

The crash is believed to have been caused by a mechanical failure with the rotor system, which forced the helicopter to break apart.

The harrowing images show the devastating sequence of how the helicopter broke up.

First, the helicopter’s tail breaks away from the fuselage and rotor blades before both blades separate from the fuselage.

The final image shows the fuselage nose-diving into the river.

The report states that the helicopter lacked any recording devices for photo or audio, which could have provided investigators valuable insights into the crash.

However, the pilot was reportedly wearing a pair of sunglasses that had video and audio recording capability.

Unfortunately, those sunglasses were not recovered.

HUDSON HORROR

The helicopter was giving a tour of Lower Manhattan to a family visiting from Barcelona, Spain, when it crashed.

The victims included European executive Agustin Escobar, his spouse, Merce Camprubi Montal, and their children, who were 4, 5, and 11 years old, along with the 36-year-old pilot, as reported by ABC News.

The malfunction occurred 15 minutes after takeoff, just as the aircraft reached the George Washington Bridge.

“Our hearts go out to the family and those on board,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams said following the accident.
