A tourist helicopter plunged into the East River on Sunday night, leaving at least five people trapped inside the sinking vessel while the pilot scrambled to safety, police sources said.

Helicopters are "vessels"?

Cringed when I read it was a tourist helicopter, not because tourists ride different types of copters, but because most people don’t realize how dangerous flying in helicopters is. It’s just not worth it to do it for kicks.

As soon as the helopicopter touched the water, it changed from aircraft to vessel. Not a patrticularly seaworthy vessel, though.
