Doomed Pilot In NYC Helicopter Crash ID’d As Tim McCormack ‘Volunteer Fire Chief’

NEW YORK, NY. (THECOUNT) — Tim McCormack has been identified as the helicopter pilot killed after his helicopter crash landed on top a Manhattan building on Monday.

McCormack, who was killed in Monday’s helicopter crash in New York City, was a former volunteer fire chief and a “dedicated, highly professional and extremely well trained firefighter,” as well as a skilled pilot, reports TheFederalistPapers.

McCormack died Monday after he made a “crash landing” on the roof of 787 Seventh Avenue in Midtown Manhattan around 2 p.m. as rain and strong winds hammered the city, the Fire Department of New York (FDNY) said,

McCormack had been a member of the East Clinton Volunteer Fire Department in Dutchess County, N.Y., for decades. Dutchess County is about halfway between Albany and New York City.

So clearly this man does not fit the profile of a terrorist or criminal. Seems the crash was simply an accident.
