The Big Apple company that operated the doomed tourist helicopter that plunged into the Hudson River Thursday previously crash-landed into the same murky waters. 

A Bell 206 chopper belonging to New York Helicopter Charter in June 2013 was carrying four Swedish tourists when it lost power and made an emergency landing. 

The pilot and four family members all miraculously survived – with no injuries reported – after the aviator deployed the aircraft’s pontoons and safely landed on the river. 

CEO Michael Roth told the Wall Street Journal at the time that the chopper underwent daily routine inspections but had “no clue why” the aircraft malfunctioned mid-flight.

The National Transportation Safety Board found that a maintenance error and an engine lubrication abnormality caused the blackout. 

Two years later, another Bell 206 model chopper was forced to make a “hard landing” in northern New Jersey after the pilot reported the aircraft started to spin out of control while hovering 20 feet off the ground, the New York Times reported.

An investigation conducted by the NTSB noted the helicopter was also previously involved in a hard landing in Chile in 2010 and had faulty parts that were unsuitable for flight.

Roth is now expressing his devastation over the tragic events that killed a pilot and a family-of-five vacationing from Spain – again claiming he has “no clue” what happened. 

“I’m absolutely devastated,” Roth, who was visibly shaken, told The Post after the crash. 

“The only thing I know by watching a video of the helicopter falling down, that the main rotor blades weren’t on the helicopter. And I haven’t seen anything like that in my 30 years being in business, in the helicopter business,” he continued. 

“The only thing I could guess – I got no clue – is that it either had a bird strike or the main rotor blades failed. I have no clue. I don’t know. This is horrific. But you gotta remember something, these are machines and they break.”

Alarming footage captured the Bell 206 helicopter breaking apart midair and then plummeting into the frigid waters around Pier 40 in Manhattan near the Hoboken border of New Jersey around 3:15 p.m., prompting a large-scale rescue mission. 

Flight Tracker data showed the aircraft was in the air for roughly 15 minutes before going down – with other clips of the horror showing parts of the aircraft splashing down into various sections of the waterway. 

NYPD drivers recovered all six victims. Four were pronounced dead at the scene and two others at a local hospital after succumbing to their injuries.  

The head of the Spanish branch of the technology company Siemens and his family were identified as five of the victims who were killed during the ill-fated sightseeing expedition. The pilot was later identified as 36-year-old Navy SEAL veteran Sean Johnson.

Agustin Escobar, president and CEO of Siemens in Spain, his wife and their three young children had just arrived in the Big Apple from Barcelona earlier in the day, law enforcement sources said.

The children were identified as Augustin, 10, Mercedes, 8, and Victor, 4, officials said Friday. 

The horrific mangled remains of the aircraft were pulled out of the Hudson River just hours after the wreck. 

Recovery efforts are expected to continue Friday morning, Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop said. It remains unclear what caused the crash and remains under investigation.
