What the New York Daily News calls a “group of powerful New York lawmakers” wants to see “non-essential” helicopter flights over downtown Manhattan come to a grinding halt. The action comes just a week after an Augusta 109E owned by American Continental Properties crashed onto the roof of a skyscraper shortly after it took off from the 34th Street Heliport. Weather at the time of the accident was reported as very poor with visibility of about ½ mile beneath a 400-foot ceiling.
