    Default Helicopter crashed into Hudson

    Just from Twitter NYTimes Alert 30 seconds ago so no news know yet.

    All sources from people at the scene from Twitter:

    Edit 1: People heard a crash who went passed, possibly 2 helicopters.
    Edit 2: Could be said plane and heli collision.
    Edit 3: Seems like it was a small plane and NY tours helicopter collision

    Listen to the Fire Department dealing with it http://www.thebravest.com/manhattan/manhattan.htm

    Well they are talking about survivors so it's not all fatal!

    Five tourists and a Pilot in the helicopter and just the one Pilot in the small aircraft.

    Witness account: “I was actually watching the white plane as it was heading south. It was around 50 feet above the helicopter and he was banking heading toward Manhattan. He banked quite hard and the wing actually snapped off and caused the plane to then drop and it hit back rotor of the helicopter, snapping that off,”

    One black box has been recovered already by divers it appears.

    Edit: Atleast one killed

    I wonder why it was claimed there was one survivor, almost all news sources went along with that story for a while?

    Looking at the first two pictures shows that anyone surviving would be quite low from that crash and the impact of the water. R.I.P to them all
