I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.

Some witnesses said they heard the chopper sputtering a struggling to maintain altitude before it crashed. It would be strange for dual turbine engines to both malfunction like that but it could happen. They're much more reliable than the piston engines. At least that's what my helicopter friends told me last year.

Eyewitness Jerry Kocharian, 62, said he was standing outside the Church in the Canyon drinking coffee when he heard a helicopter that was flying unusually low and seeming to struggle.
“It wasn’t sounding right,” he said, “and it was real low. I saw it falling and spluttering. But it was hard to make out as it was so foggy.”
