Coincidentally, Meridian Consulting I Corp Inc. is also the company that the helicopter was registered to in the 2009 Hudson River mid-air collision that killed 9 people.
Victims of 2009 crash:
New York police identified the pilot of the helicopter as Jeremy Clark, 32. He had worked for the operator, Liberty Helicopter Sightseeing Tours, for about a year and a half and had 2,700 helicopter flight hours, Hersman said.
His passengers were Michele Norelli, 51; Fabio Gallazzi, 49; Filippo Norelli, 16; Giacomo Gallazzi, 15; and Tiziana Pedroni, 44, all of Bologna, Italy.
The plane took off from a Philadelphia-area airfield Saturday morning, landed at New Jersey's Teterboro Airport and was bound for Ocean City, New Jersey, with three people aboard – the owner and pilot, Steven Altman, 60, of Ambler, Pennsylvania; his brother, Daniel Altman, 49, of Dresher, Pennsylvania; and Daniel Altman's son Douglas, 16.
A lawsuit was filed on behalf of the 5 Italian tourists that died on Dec. 4, 2009 in U.S. District Court in Newark and named Meridian Consulting I Corporation as a defendant.
