In May 2020, A Houston police helicopter crashed, killing 35-year-old Jason Knox, a tactical flight officer, and severely injuring the pilot, 35-year-old Chase Cormier.
Now, nearly two and half years later, The National Transportation Safety Board issued its final report with investigators saying they found no evidence of a pre-impact mechanical failure.
“It is a very, very dangerous and challenging environment in which to operate a helicopter,” said Joshua Verde, a local aviation expert. “The NTSB is basically saying there was a loss of control, but they cannot pin it on one particular thing.” Cormier told investigators he didn’t hear any unusual sounds or warning horns and did not see any caution or warning lights, saying “the helicopter was spinning like [the] tail was not functioning.”
