A New York City helicopter crashed into a high rise building earlier this afternoon, killing the pilot in bad weather conditions. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has already came out and ruled out terrorism, though it’s awfully strange that almost three hours later, there is still no information on the now dead pilot. Usually when an accident, like this occurs, the name and information of the pilot comes out rather quickly.

The weather conditions in New York City were bad, cold, rainy and foggy which lends credence to the idea of this helicopter crash into a high rise building in Manhattan not being terrorism. Still the hiding of information about the pilot makes one ask the question, why?

Did anyone ask, considering how bad the weather conditions were in Manhattan why this helicopter was in the air in the first place?
