Helicopter Crash Passenger Says Engine Quit Because It Ran Out Of Gas…The helicopter’s pilot, however, told investigators that he had just filled up the tank before the flight.
After the April 2019 helicopter crash near Hauula, an official with the state agency that chartered the flight called it a “miracle” that all four people aboard managed to walk away seemingly unscathed.
Now, one of those passengers claims in a lawsuit that in fact she was severely injured and that the crash was far from an act of God — the helicopter simply ran out of gas.
That passenger, Erika Dittmar, is suing the owner, K & S Helicopters, for injuries and damages.
