Boulder City, NV TFR

[moxiepilot]

There's going to be a small TFR near Boulder City, NV. The information I have is that it is for the accident investigation of the Bonanza fuel starvation fatality. I've never seen a TFR due to accident investigation before. Any inside info on why it would happen for this one in particular?

May be for aircraft bringing in investigators, or if there are operations such as sling-loading wreckage out. Have seen it a few times before for accidents located in and around areas where there is a good amount of aircraft traffic. In this case, they probably don't want tour aircraft moving through the area low-level to and from LAS and the Hoover Dam/Lake Mead area.

This TFR was actually for the tour helicopter that crashed killing 5 people. It crashed in a Ravine and yes they did need to sling load wreckage out in an area that sees heavy air tour traffic.
