Trump helicopter crash in NY kept secret to avoid embarrassing president (report)
by Geof Herbert, Syracuse.com
Updated Jan 04, 2019; Posted Jul 12, 2017
One of President Donald Trump's personal helicopters crashed in New York last month, and no one knew about it.
Page Six reports the Trump chopper's tail rotor hit a fence while landing at Manhattan's West Side Heliport along the Hudson River on June 15. Photos obtained by the publication show the rotor was completely sheared off.
The helicopter was grounded and hauled away by a crane for repairs. No one was injured in the incident.
More interestingly, pictures show the "Trump" name was covered up by helipad workers to apparently avoid embarrassing the president.
"This accident was the result of a bad landing," a witness told Page Six. "The helicopter's tail rotor hit the fence and came off. It is not believed anyone was hurt. But the first concern was to tape up the helicopter so nobody could see it was Trump's as it was lifted up and out by crane."
