Just in: US NTSB shares photos of helicopter crash site involving Herbert Wigwe, others
The United States National Transportation Safety Board, NTSB, has released images of the location where the helicopter transporting Herbert Wigwe, CEO of Access Holdings, and others, crashed.
Recall that Wigwe and others died in an helicopter crash that occurred Friday near the California-Nevada border in the United States of America.
Wigwe, his wife and son were in the helicopter when it crashed.
Abimbola Ogunbanjo, the group chairman of Nigerian Exchange Group Plc (NGX Group) was also in the ill-fated chopper.
The debris field, as reported by the agency, was about 100 yards long and comprised all of the helicopter’s primary components, including rotor blades, transmission, engine, tail rotor, landing gear skids, and other avionics items.
The images from the NTSB revealed investigators sifting through wreckage at the location.
The National Transportation Safety Board is an independent federal agency charged by Congress with investigating every civil aviation accident in the United States and significant events in the other modes of transportation—railroad, transit, highway, marine, pipeline, and commercial space.
It also serves as the appellate authority for enforcement actions involving aviation and mariner certificates issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and US Coast Guard, and adjudicate appeals of civil penalty actions taken by the FAA.
