The National Transportation Safety Board released photos Tuesday of the helicopter crash that killed six people south of Las Vegas on Friday.
The Airbus EC130 aircraft was heading to Boulder City from Palm Springs, California, when it crashed near Halloran Springs, California, about 80 miles south of Las Vegas.
News reports have identified four of the six victims as Herbert Wigwe, CEO of one of Nigeria’s largest financial institutions, Access Bank; Wigwe’s wife and his son; and Bamofin Abimbola Ogunbanjo, former chair of NGX Group, the Nigerian stock exchange.
NTSB investigators arrived at the crash site Saturday evening to collect evidence, NTSB official Michael Graham told the Las Vegas Review-Journal last week.
A preliminary report of the crash is expected in the coming weeks, Graham said.

LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — Nevada once again sprang forward on Sunday, losing an hour for Daylight Saving Time.
We are one of 48 states that still observe the practice, though it has faced scrutiny in recent years for the supposed health drawbacks that come from changing clocks.
An effort to end Daylight Saving Time in Nevada, effectively putting the state one hour behind other Pacific Coast states for most of the year, failed in the legislature last year.
