"Fatal Oklahoma Helicopter Crash Linked to Geese in Flight Control"

A preliminary report by the National Transportation Safety Board revealed that a dead goose was found in the flight control system of a medical helicopter that crashed in western Oklahoma, killing all three people on board. The report did not specify a suspected cause of the crash, but noted the presence of several goose carcasses at the debris field, with one carcass embedded in the helicopter's flight control system. The NTSB stated that a report on the probable cause could take up to two years to complete, and investigators have recovered what was left of the helicopter for further examination.
