A helicopter separated in the air Thursday, April 10 and crashed up the Hudson River between Manhattan and the New Jersey coast, killing a family of Spanish tours, including three children, in the last. Mayor Eric Adams said the flight began a helipad of the center around 3 pm and that the dead had been recovered and removed from water.
A witness said he saw the helicopter “crumble” in the air, with the tail and the propeller. The propeller was still turning without the plane when it fell, he said. Another witness in Hoboken, New Jersey, said he saw the helicopter turning uncontrollable before he crashed into the water. The video posted on social networks showed parts of the helicopter splashing in the water, and the overturned plane was submerged, with rescue boats that surrounded it. The heavens were cloudy at that time, but the visibility on the river was not a substantial disability. Rescue equipment had to deal with 45 degree water temperatures.
The Federal Aviation Administration identified the helicopter as a Bell 206, a model widely used in commercial and government aviation, even by tourism partners, television news stations and police departments. Initially it was developed for the US Army. Uu. Before being adapted for other uses. Thousands have manufactured the legs over the years. The National Transport Security Board said it would investigate.
The rescue ship was close to the end of a long maintenance dock for a ventilation tower that serves the Holland tunnel on the New Jersey side of the river. Fire trucks and other emergency vehicles were on the nearby streets with their lights flashing. The skies on Manhattan are routinely full of airplanes and helicopters, both private recreational aircraft and commercial and tourist flights. Manhattan has several helipuertos that lead business executives and others to destinations through the metropolitan area.
2009 collision scene
Over the years, they have multiple accidents, including a collision between a plane and a tourist helicopter on the Hudson River in 2009 that killed nine people and the 2018 accident of a charter helicopter that offers “open for” flights that were River, Kilhe River, Killn, downstream, people.
A medical transport plane killed seven people when he collapsed in a neighborhood of Philadelphia in January. That happened two days after an American Airlines jet and an army helicopter collided in the air in Washington, the most fatal American aerial disaster in a generation. Accidents and other close calls have left some people worried about the security of flying.
