The lone survivor of a Grand Canyon helicopter crash that killed six told arriving paramedics that the chopper’s engine quit before it hit the ground and burned, a federal report says.
Investigators say it’s premature to draw conclusions from the remarks made by the Chana Daskal, who remains in critical condition.
Daskal, 25, suffered a broken back and burns over 80% of her body. The pilot and five tourists from New York died when an American Eurocopters AS350-B2 helicopter crashed near Meadview, Ariz., 60 miles east of Las Vegas.
