NTSB Releases Findings on News Chopper Crash

The NSTB has released the report on the news chopper crash, which killed two from WBTV in Charlotte.

The National Transportation Safety Board concluded a loose bolt and other improperly installed hardware caused the wreck.

The crash crash killed pilot Chip Tayag and WBTV meteorologist Jason Myers.

The report says the bolt, a nut, palnut, two washers and two hat-shaped spacers were found to be loose. The NTSB concluded they had backed out of their intended position during the flight.

"It is unlikely that the hardware was secure before the flight and may have been loose for multiple flights before the accident," the report stated.
