Marilyn MonHoe 11,011 Posted April 10, 2025 Share Posted April 10, 2025 All six people on board were killed when a helicopter plunged into the Hudson River by Lower Manhattan in New York City on Thursday afternoon, Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop confirmed to ABC News. The helicopter, which was a New York Helicopters chartered chopper, was carrying a pilot, two adults and three children, officials said during a press briefing. The family members were tourists from Spain, officials said. The crash occurred at 3:17 p.m. off the coast of River Drive in Hoboken, New Jersey, just over 15 minutes after it departed from the Wall St. heliport. The helicopter reached the George Washington Bridge before turning south and crashing, according to authorities. "Our hearts go out to the family and those on board," New York City Mayor Eric Adams said during the briefing. https://abcnews.go.com/US/helicopter-crashes-hudson-river-new-york-city/story?id=120691975 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oriane 22,995 Posted April 11, 2025 Share Posted April 11, 2025 I've always heard that helicopters are really dangerous. They're hard to manipulate, taking off and landing is very difficult, and it can easily go wrong if there's the tiniest issue.
