The helicopter pilot who crashed on to the roof of a New York City building was not licensed to fly in poor weather, the Federal Aviation Administration said.The pilot, identified as Tim McCormack, died in the crash, law enforcement officials said."Pilots must have an instrument rating to fly in bad weather," an FAA spokeswoman said. "This pilot didn't have an instrument rating."An instrument rating requires about 100 or more hours of additional training on top of basic pilot training, CNN aviation analyst Mary Schiavo said.It helps pilots learn to fly without visual reference to the sky under instrument flight rules, by relying solely on instruments to "fly blind" in clouds or heavy fog under the direction of air traffic control, Schiavo said.At the time of Monday's flight, moderate to heavy rain was falling in the city, and visibility at Central Park was down to 1.25 miles. Winds were from the east at 9 mph.City officials said they were not sure what led the pilot to crash-land atop a building without a helipad.A typical afternoon inside the offices of a Midtown Manhattan skyscraper suddenly turned to chaos when the helicopter, 11 minutes into its flight, landed on the roof.The helicopter took off from East 34th Street Heliport about 1:32 p.m. Monday, New York police Commissioner James O'Neill said.Based on interviews investigators conducted at the East 34th Street Heliport on Manhattan's East Side, the pilot made statements that he believed he had a 5- to 7-minute break in the rainy weather to take off, according to a law enforcement source familiar with the investigation. The pilot did not refuel at the heliport, the source added.Once the pilot was in the air, he radioed back to the heliport and said he needed to return. The last time the pilot communicated with the heliport he conveyed he was unsure of his location, the source said.The pilot then flew around Battery Park on the southern tip of Manhattan, up the west side of the island and then, somewhere around the streets in the 40s, started to veer toward Midtown Manhattan before crash-landing, the law enforcement source said.McCormack had flown for American Continental Properties, the company that owns the helicopter, for five years, according to a company statement.McCormack received his commercial pilot's license in 2004, according to Federal Aviation Administration records, and he was certified as a flight instructor for a rotorcraft-helicopter last year.In October 2014, the pilot was flying a helicopter over the Hudson River with six tourists on board when a bird struck and broke part of the windshield, according to 2637

The family that owns well-known consumer brands like Krispy Kreme doughnuts, Keurig Dr. Pepper and Panera Bread say their Nazi ancestors used slave labor during World War II.The Reimann family, which owns the controlling stake in JAB Holdings and is reportedly one of the richest families in Germany, will donate €10 million, or million, to a yet-undisclosed charity after a three-year investigation that it commissioned discovered details of their ancestors' behavior.A family spokesperson said Albert Reimann Sr., who died in 1954, and Albert Reimann Jr., who died in 1984, used Russian civilian prisoners and French prisoners of war as forced labor in their factories during the war, and that they were anti-Semites and avowed supporters of Adolf Hitler.The investigation also found that Reimann Sr. donated to Hitler's paramilitary SS force as early as 1931.Investigators also found a letter from Reimann Jr. to a local mayor complaining that the French prisoners of war weren't working hard enough and should be in prison."Reimann Senior and Reimann Junior were guilty. The two businessmen have passed away, but they actually belonged in prison," said Peter Haft, the chairman and one of the managing partners of JAB Holdings, in an interview with German publication Bild. "We were ashamed and white as sheets. There is nothing to gloss over. These crimes are disgusting." A family spokesperson confirmed the quote to CNN Business.The family expects to publish a book next year that will detail the ties.JAB Holdings, which is based in Luxembourg, also owns Peet's Coffee, Pret A Manger, Einstein's Bagels and Coty.The company acquired most of its best-known brands within the last several years. It took a stake in Coty in the early 1990s, and is the beauty company's largest shareholder. 1810

The Ark may have been constructed to withstand 40 days and 40 nights of flooding, but Northern Kentucky¡¯s Ark Encounter property did not fare as well as Noah¡¯s original construction when rains hit the area.Court documents filed in District Court show that the owners of the Ark Encounter in Northern Kentucky have filed a suit against their insurance company after flood and storm damage.Crosswater Canyon Inc. alongside the Ark Encounter, have filed suit against multiple defendants who comprise the business¡¯ insurance underwriters after their property was damaged by heavy rains.According to the suit, heavy rains caused a landslide and some structural support damage near the Ark exhibit.¡°Subsequent to heavy rains, a significant landslide occurred along portions of the slope, which eliminated the structural support for the roadway, caused significant damage to the road surface itself and the incorporated improvements, and rendered portions of the road unsafe and unfit for use,¡± reads the suit.Engineers fixed the roadway at a cost of about million. But when the Ark Encounter asked for their insurance to cover the repairs, they were disappointed.Initially, the suit alleges, the defendants cited faulty craftsmanship as the reason for the property damage and stated they were not liable. After an appeal, they conceded that only a small amount was covered by the policy.¡°By refusing to pay all but a very small proportion of Plaintiffs¡¯ covered claim, the Defendants have failed to meet their Policy obligations and failed to handle Plaintiffs¡¯ claim properly and in good faith, causing Plaintiffs to incur significant additional loss and expense,¡± reads the suit.The Ark Encounter is seeking damages. The vessel itself appears not to have been damaged. 1779
