@buriedclues6: 🚨 A helicopter landed on a New Jersey roadway—but its tail boom was severed. Would you call that a successful emergency landing? Bell 206 helicopter N217MH reportedly made an emergency landing near Bayonne Pier around 8:55 a.m. on November 10, approximately four minutes after departing Kearny-HHI Heliport. According to the initial account, the pilot declared a mayday after a low-RPM indication and performed an emergency autorotation. During the hard landing, the main rotor blades reportedly struck and severed the tail boom, leaving it roughly 30 feet from the fuselage. Two people were aboard. Their condition was not specified in the information provided. The cause of the reported power loss remains unconfirmed. 💬 Should an emergency landing be judged by the damage to the aircraft—or by the outcome for those aboard? What would you want investigators to examine first? #Helicopter #EmergencyLanding #Bayonne #NewJersey #Bell206
