LAS VEGAS (AP) - Federal crash investigators plan to airlift large pieces of charred wreckage from a remote canyon near Lake Mead as they wind up their on-site probe of a Las Vegas sightseeing helicopter crash that killed five people.
National Transportation Safety Board Member Mark Rosekind told reporters on Saturday that he and several other NTSB officials planned to leave Las Vegas on Sunday, but Chief Investigator Bill English planned to remain at the site until wreckage of the AS-350BS is removed on Monday.
The pilot and couples from Kansas and India died when the aircraft operated by Sundance Helicopters of Las Vegas crashed Wednesday.
The NTSB is scheduled to release a preliminary report on the crash by Dec. 20, but a final report could take up to a year.
