More detail on this person: Helicopter accident flying Hughes 500 in Virgin Islands due to an
engine failure. This is my brother. The date of his death was Friday October 19, 1984. He was
flying for a photographer and friend to shoot a sailboat. As they finished shooting and Steve was
pulling up at a sharpe angle, one of the main rotor blades broke off. They said if he had been
banked in the oposite direction, he could have hovered back down. This information was last updated 05/18/2016
