BOUTTE, La. -- One person is dead and two others are injured after a helicopter crash about 25 miles away from New Orleans Sunday morning. Officials said three people were aboard the aircraft when it crashed around shortly after 10:30 a.m. between Magnolia Ridge and Highway 90. Sheriff Greg Champagne reported his office received a call about the crash on an Entergy transmission line right-of-way located in the marsh. First responders had to reach the scene by airboat, all-terrain tracked vehicles and helicopter due to the location of the crash. Officials said two people in the helicopter were rescued at the crash site and brought to an area hospital with extensive injuries.

Also could’ve been your wife who just got the phone call from a few hundred miles away that her early 20’s husband and father of their small child was just killed. Douchebag.

Heard it was Air2 earlier this afternoon from someone working with them. The tv news confirmed it.
