Improper maintenance blamed in 2011 helicopter crash near Las Vegas Jan 29th 2013, 19:29 WASHINGTON | Tue Jan 29, 2013 2:29pm EST WASHINGTON Jan 29 (Reuters) - The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said on Tuesday improper maintenance was the likely cause of a Dec. 7, 2011 air tour helicopter crash near Las Vegas that killed the pilot and four passengers.

"This investigation is a potent reminder that what happens in the maintenance hangar is just as important for safety as what happens in the air," NTSB Chairman Deborah Hersman said in a statement.
