Pilot rescued from burning helicopter that crashed in woods in New Hampshire
People who heard a helicopter crash rushed to the site to help remove the pilot from the burning aircraft in a wooded area in central New Hampshire, police said Sunday.
The pilot was the helicopter’s only occupant when it crashed into a residential property in Merrimack County, the New Hampshire State Police said in a news release. He was “conscious, breathing and alert” when authorities from various agencies arrived and transported him to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center with “serious but non life-threatening injuries,” police said. The pilot was not identified
The Hughes TH-55 helicopter went down Saturday afternoon about 30 miles northwest of the state capital, Concord, and caused a fire that was spreading to the woods before the arrival of firefighters, police said. An initial probe into the incident suggested that the pilot lost control of the helicopter near a landing site and subsequently crashed into the wood line of the property.
A National Transportation Safety Board spokesperson said the helicopter will be moved to an offsite facility for further examination as part of its investigation. The NTSB is leading the investigation along with the Federal Aviation Administration. New Hampshire State Police have asked anyone who witnessed the crash to contact the Danbury Police Department.
The two-seater TH-55 Osage was originally used by the military as a training helicopter, taking flight for the first time in 1956, but many of them have since found their way into civilian use.
A person died in an e-scooter crash in New Hampshire’s Hampton Beach early Saturday morning, police said, asking for help with their investigation.
The person, identified only as being male, was found unresponsive and not breathing about 12:54 a.m. near the intersection of Ashworth Avenue and G Street, Hampton police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police asked anyone with home security cameras in the area or with information about what happened to contact them at 603-929-4444 or anonymously at 603-929-1222.
Police didn’t say if they believe someone had crashed into the person.
He wasn’t publicly identified.

NH Gov. Ayotte taps campaign cash to troll NYC’s Mamdani with billboard luring city biz north
Most often found antagonizing her neighbors across the border in the Bay State, New Hampshire Gov Kelly Ayotte is broadening her horizons.
On Wednesday, the Granite State’s Republican chief executive dipped into her campaign funds to send a billboard around Manhattan encouraging businesses to move north, WMUR-TV reported.
The PR campaign came the day after Zohran Mamdani, the Big Apple’s new Democratic Socialist mayor-elect, romped to victory over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who had the backing of President Donald Trump.
“So we’re saying welcome, please come to New Hampshire. You’ll have more freedom, lower taxes, and an awesome quality of life,” Ayotte said, according to the station.
Among the messages was one that called New Hampshire “safe, prosperous, free … what New York used to be.”
New Hampshire Democrats were less than enthused, according to the station.
“Those ads would be costing thousands of dollars, and obviously not a big deal for Kelly Ayotte in her campaign. But the timing seems to me a little bit strange, given the food SNAP benefit cut that a lot of Granite Staters are dealing with,” Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Jon Kiper said, according to WMUR-TV.
State Democratic Chairperson Ray Buckley fired back, saying that “unfortunately, Ayotte is nothing but a pathetic political opportunist who is using our state as a billboard prop to serve her own interests,” the station reported.
