Probe into fatal helicopter crash ongoing – Edghill

It has been four months since the tragic helicopter crash which claimed the lives of five army men and Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill said that the investigation is still ongoing.

He told the Sunday Stabroek that the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), an independent US government investigative agency responsible for civil transportation accident investigation still has the black box in its possession.

Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo at a press briefing in February had said that the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority would hold a “read out” of the black box from the crashed Bell 412 Army helicopter.
