Geese Implicated in Fatal Medical Helicopter Crash
TL;DR
A dead goose was found embedded in the flight control system of a medical helicopter that crashed in Oklahoma, killing the pilot, flight nurse, and flight paramedic. The helicopter had dropped off a patient and was returning to its home base when it crashed. The NTSB's preliminary report noted the presence of several geese in the debris field, but did not confirm if the goose was the cause of the crash. The investigation is ongoing, and the probable cause report may take up to two years to be completed.
