Fatal Crash in Houston: Helicopter on Air Tour Flight Kills 4

A helicopter crashed into a radio tower in Houston on Sunday, killing all four people on board, including a child. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the incident. The helicopter was on an air tour flight when it struck the tower and crashed around 7:51 p.m. The wreckage is a complex scene, and officials are being meticulous in their approach. The helicopter took off from Ellington Airport in Houston before the crash. The tower was a guyed tower with cables attached to the ground, owned by SBA Communications. The tower collapsed due to the impact of the crash, covering about 4 acres with debris. Some vehicles on the ground were damaged, but there were no reports of injuries to people on the ground. Police and residents in the neighborhood are thankful that more people were not hurt in the tragedy, considering the potential for a larger disaster. The names and ages of those killed have not been released by officials. The crash occurred despite a notice to air missions warning pilots about the presence of the tower in the area. The NTSB and local authorities are working to determine the cause of the accident and offer condolences to the families and friends of the victims.
