Then the problem is the placement of the fuel shut off valve, not the passenger's bag.

Usually these tourist choppers aren’t supposed to have any baggage in them. When I took a tour with a similar company in NYC they told us to leave everything but our phones in a locker

This seems like a design issue. Holy hell! That’s terrible!

So why is that possible. The pilot is saying a design flaw killed 5 people. Why wouldn’t a device that could stall the engine not have a safety cover?

Such a button should be within reach of the pilot - how could he do an emergency shutoff otherwise? And can a passenger bag get into the cockpit to hit that button? And why is it not secured? And why didn’t the pilot reverse the shutoff immediately?

Scary that would bring down a helo. One would think design would prevent that from happening. Hey let’s not put fuel shutoff near shifting baggage.

That suggests a redesign is desperately needed if such a thing can happen.

Talking about bad design. How come that particular button is placed within the passenger's reach or of its bagagge?

One would think if the pilot had a gauge indicating no fuel pressure, he might check that switch.
