Six people killed after helicopter crashes into Hudson River in New York
ai generated text
A helicopter crash occurred in the Hudson River near Manhattan, New York City. The aircraft, which was on a sightseeing tour, lost control and broke apart in mid-air before crashing upside-down into the river. Six people were killed in the accident, including a family of five from Spain and a pilot. Witnesses described the scene as chaotic, with the helicopter "falling apart" in the air.
A Bell 206 helicopter crashed and is submerged in the Hudson River in New York City.
I'm grateful for the swift action by emergency responders.
At this time, all six victims have been removed from the water. And sadly, all six victims have been pronounced deceased.
They told us they did everything they could to try to save those victims.
NYPD divers pulled four people from the crash site, and FDNY Divers recovered an additional two. Immediate lifesaving measures were undertaken on the vessels at the scene, as well as the adjoining pier.
Four victims were pronounced dead on scene, and two more were removed to local area hospitals, where, sadly, both succumbed to their injuries.
We're following reports of a helicopter crash in the Hudson River between New York and New Jersey. At this time, based on ADS-B data and the location of SAR activity, we believe the aircraft involved to be N216MH, a Bell 206L-4 LongRanger IV.
It is extraordinarily difficult to find things in the water...the water is very cloudy in the Hudson, it's full of silt.
But you could literally see that the propeller just snapped right off. You can see it snap off, and then it just came straight down.
