Ive been seeing the photos and footage of the tragic helicopter crash today in NYC, he began.
I hate this cr*p. Breaks my heart.
Saw the video and a picture of the family before they took off.

Nothing was attached to it, Sarah Jane Raymond Ryer, who saw the crash, toldWCBS.
Jersey City resident Jenn Lynk said, It sounded like an engine came out.
Other witnesses described seeing the helicopter split in half before it went down near Pier 40.
Footage of the accident shows the rotor blades detached from the aircraft and flying through the air.
Such a scenario would have been unrecoverable,said JP Tristani.
If that articulating head actually separated from the aircraft, the aircraft was doomed.
Theres no possibility of that aircraft ever having made a normal throw in of landing.
It was going to crash.
There is also the possibility that the accident was triggered by an abrupt movement of the control stick.
An impact with a bird or large object may also have damaged a critical part of the system.
I have no clue.
Roth said he was absolutely devastated by thetragedy.
But you gotta remember something, these are machines and they break, he added.
After circling the Statue of Liberty, it flew along the Hudson River, reaching the George Washington Bridge.
It later turned south along the New Jersey shoreline, where it lost control, as per CNN.
I hate this crap.
Saw the video and a picture of the family before they took off.
