A helicopter crashed Sunday after hitting a radio tower in Houston , killing four people on board, including a child, fire officials said. The tower into which the helicopter crashed is near the intersection of Engelke and Ennis streets, the Houston fire department said in a post on the social media platform X. The video shows a tower with a light blinking at the top, though there do not appear to be any other lights visible. Houston city council member Mario Castillo added in a separate X post that the helicopter that crashed was used for private tours. The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said it would investigate the helicopter crash.
