One of 5 people killed in a helicopter crash in NYC posted video of the takeoff from inside the chopper minutes before it slammed into the East River on Sunday.
Trevor Cardigan was among 5 passengers on board when a sightseeing helicopter crashed minutes after lifting off from a New Jersey heliport. The pilot, Richard Vance, was the lone survivor.
Cadigan posted video of himself and other passengers (pictured) from inside the ill-fated chopper which was airborne for only 11 minutes before it crashed.
The pilot screamed “Mayday, mayday, mayday!” just after the helicopter experienced engine malfunction and slammed into the murky water.
Video shot by a witness shows the crippled chopper drop out of the sky and slam into the East River.
According to TMZ, Cadigan was a video journalist from Dallas who worked for Business Insider.
