New flight-tracking data and NTSB briefing audio put two widely repeated explanations for the September 15th, 2026 Chatsworth news helicopter crash to the test — and the numbers don't back either one up the way early coverage suggested. We break down what the published flight track actually shows about the helicopter's final seconds, why this helicopter's fuel tank has nothing to do with when you'd assume, and what's still genuinely unknown as the NTSB's investigation continues. This is a follow-up to our first report on the crash and the Metro bus collision that preceded it. 🔔 Subscribe for the full NTSB findings as they're released. — PARTNERS & SPONSORS — ▸ For business inquiries → takingoff@outloudtalent.com ▸ Serendipitous Films – Need a video for your company? → sales@s-films.com ▸ AEROVERSE – Use code TakingOff for 15% off! → https://www.aeroverse.com/ ▸ FlyingEyes Optics – Get 10% off pilot glasses → https://flyingeyesoptics.com/pages/taking-offs-discount ▸ Colten Mortgage – Residential mortgage & refi, run by a pilot! → https://www.coltenmortgage.com/takingoff ▸ XeVision – Extreme LED Landing Lights.
