Chilling Radio Call of Helicopter Pilot Before Fatal Crash

Helicopter Pilot’s Final Radio Call Before Hudson River Crash

​On April 10, 2025, a tragic helicopter crash in the Hudson River claimed the lives of pilot Sean Johnson and a Spanish family of five.

Moments before the accident, Johnson radioed the heliport, indicating he was returning to refuel. Despite this communication, the helicopter did not arrive as expected, leading to the fatal incident.

Witnesses reported hearing loud noises before observing the helicopter break apart mid-air and descend into the river. Emergency responders arrived promptly, but all six occupants were pronounced dead. ​

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is conducting an investigation to determine the exact cause of the crash. Preliminary discussions have raised concerns about potential mechanical failures, but no definitive conclusions have been reached.
