(Reuters) - The National Transportation Safety Board launched a probe on Friday into the crash of a tourist helicopter into New York City's Hudson River the day before that killed all six aboard including three children.

The NTSB has a team of 10 investigators at the scene, NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said. The team has begun examining the wreckage, which has been moved inside a building for closer review. "Everything is off the table," Homendy said. "We don't rule anything out."
