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.

Some say on Bluesky, on the flight radar post, that a tourist helicopter crashed above the Holland Tunnel at a ventilation shaft near Jersey.
Six people confirmed dead.
The water temperature was fifty.
I posted in comments and updated here.
This video shows a close-up view.
