The NTSB is now investigating a deadly Mercy Flight crash that happened Tuesday in Genesee County.
The in-depth work now begins for the National Transportation Safety Board to try to determine why a Mercy Flight helicopter in essence broke apart and fell from the sky in a farm field in the Town of Elba, killing two people.
The NTSB says the Belt 429 helicopter lifted off from the Genesee County airport about 11 a.m. and started this training flight in a routine fashion; the flight profile had basic patterns near the airport itself.
But then it moved further into Elba.
This helicopter does have a flight data recorder so they can check for more details. There will be many more months of painstaking analysis of the helicopter's systems.
They will also check the pilots performance but noted that both are highly seasoned.
