The NTSB has released a preliminary report on the crash which occurred when pilot Scott Churchill made an emergency landing when the helicopter’s engine sputtered. When it hit the ground, it rolled over.
According to the NTSB, Churchill checked the fuel three times, found water in the tank all three times, and took off anyway.
