Introduced legislation would make safety equipment mandatory on helicopters

Legislation introduced Thursday in the House and Senate would require terrain awareness, warning systems, crash-resistant flight data and voice recorders on all helicopters that carry six or more passengers, which the bills' authors say would prevent tragedies like the Jan. 26 Calabasas crash that killed Kobe Bryant and his daughter.
