The National Transportation Safety Board has arrived on the remote scene of last Thursday night's EagleMed helicopter crash and have started the investigation into what cause the helicopter to go down.
The chopper crashed near Lake Eufaula in McIntosh County. The area is so remote that it is only accessible by foot or an All-Terrain Vehicle. Even with an ATV, the crash site is a half-hour ride into the woods.
The pilot, Matt Mathews died in the crash. Two other crew members were injured. The helicopter was in route to its base at McAlester, from Tulsa, when it went down.
The NTSB is trying to figure out how best to get the debris from the crash site to a hangar to reconstruct the accident. This was the fourth EagleMed chopper to crash in Oklahoma in five years.
