No but the pilot was flying blind. Eyewitnesses could hear the copter flying overhead but couldn’t see it. The pilot probably wasn’t able to see the ground and from there everything that could go wrong, went wrong. You can’t land a copter unless you have visual point of reference.
Bottom line is, that Pilot screwed up. He shouldn’t have flown that morning.
