Overview
- A Robinson R44 helicopter crashed through the roof of the Egret Point Logistics Center in Boynton Beach on Monday around 12:30 p.m., killing both people on board.
- Police and fire crews found the aircraft inside a vacant warehouse, reported no smoke, fire, or fuel spill, and said nearby construction workers were outside and unhurt.
- The National Transportation Safety Board is leading the investigation with Federal Aviation Administration support, and the site remains secured for evidence collection.
- Investigators recovered the helicopter’s voice recorder for analysis, and preliminary track-log data cited by a pilot showed drops of roughly 375 feet per minute and then 750 feet per minute before impact, with no official cause determined.
- In these cases, the NTSB typically examines wreckage, reviews maintenance records, and analyzes recorder audio before releasing a preliminary update within days and a final report in the months that follow.
