From ABC News:

At least three people were killed when a helicopter crashed in the Hudson River by Lower Manhattan in New York City on Thursday afternoon, law enforcement sources told ABC News.


All are deceased.




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.
