“I am saddened to have learned this morning that five people were killed late yesterday in the terrible helicopter crash just a few miles outside Las Vegas. My sympathy is with the families of those who died, including pilot Landon Nield and four passengers. My thoughts are with them as the recovery efforts continue this morning and as they lay their lost loved ones to rest. Reports indicate the aircraft was on a tour of Hoover Dam. It crashed into a remote and rocky terrain in the River Mountains between Lake Mead and Henderson, NV, a few miles from Las Vegas. I have taken those helicopter tours. It is an exciting trip. People don't realize this, but we are just a few miles from the Grand Canyon there in Las Vegas. It takes just a short time to travel to that beautiful canyon to see where millions of people go every year to see the Grand Canyon. Hundreds of thousands of tourists come from Las Vegas to see it. I am truly grateful for the efforts of the National Park Service rangers, the metropolitan police department, the search-and-rescue team, and the Henderson fire departments that responded rapidly to the scene of the accident. The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating this accident as we speak. I will continue to monitor the investigation as well as the recovery efforts that are in progress. Hundreds of thousands of tourists, I repeat, enjoy these helicopter tours each year.…”
