Drone Caused Helicopter Crash, Reports Say

A recent helicopter crash in South Carolina may have been caused by a civilian drone. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the incident that resulted in a crash landing. The case would be the first known aircraft accident to be caused by a drone, though the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has long expressed concern about the possibility of such interference from consumer devices. A drone may be responsible for a recent helicopter crash. The crash occurred on Wednesday afternoon when a helicopter being piloted by a student and instructor came into contact with a small drone.
