In 2019, seven people were killed in a helicopter crash while vacationing in the Bahamas and according to the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board, the crash was due to pilot error.
The Advocate reports that according to a recent decision from the Safety Board, when pilot David Jude and co-pilot Geoff Painter made the decision “to take off over water in dark night conditions” it doomed all six aboard the Agusta AW139 helicopter.
