HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) — The National Transportation Safety Board says pilot error was probably the cause of a helicopter crash on a western Maryland mountaintop that killed four people last year.
The final report released Oct. 6 says 24-year-old pilot Jeffrey Nordaas (NOR-dahss) exercised poor judgment when he chose to fly back to Frederick from Hagerstown on a dark night in adverse weather conditions on July 23, 2009.
The helicopter crashed onto Interstate 70 atop South Mountain near Boonsboro after hitting an unmarked, steel guy-wire.
Also killed were three passengers: 39-year-old George Tutor Jr., 48-year-old Kim Felix and 43-year-old Niall (NEE-all) Booth.
