Twitter and other media are reporting that a helicopter and small plane collided in midair over the Hudson River near New York City and then crashed into the river. The FDNY recovered one body, but reports differ on how many survivors have been rescued. While there were approximately six people on the helicopter, officials are still determining how many people were aboard the plane. Police divers are currently looking for survivors. The helicopter was part of a tour group, while the plane was headed towards Ocean City.
This is the 2nd Hudson River crash of aircraft this year. An US Airways plane leaving La Guardia crashed into the river in January, after hitting a flock of geese. However, all 155 passengers survived.
