I just heard from an eye witness that a small plane gone down in the Hudson River right near the Boline Power Plant/Indian Point Nuke Plant (the plants are across the river from each other). My source says that there is a news black-out, in that LEO and emergency response personnel have switched to a non-public scanner frequency. I have no first hand knowledge, just reporting what I've been told.
Thank you Labyrinthos for the info.

Small plane crashes in Rockland County inlet after pilot deploys its parachute
June 30, 2005, 10:51 PM EDT
HAVERSTRAW, N.Y. (AP) _ A small plane crashed in an inlet in Bowline Point Park on Thursday after the pilot suffered leg pains, lost control and deployed the plane's parachute.
The pilot, who was rescued from the water, was the only person aboard and didn't suffer any serious injuries, Rockland County executive's office spokeswoman C.J. Miller said. The pilot had pains in his legs and couldn't pull the plane out of a dive, Miller said.
The pilot, Ilan Reich, 50, of New York City, was taken to Nyack Hospital, said Sgt. Wayne Dunn, of the Village of Haverstraw Police Department. Dunn said he believed Reich cut his hand getting out of the plane.
The Cirrus SR22 fixed-wing single-engine plane was lost on the radar about 10 miles from Westchester County Airport, Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Arlene Salac said. Reich issued a mayday call at 4:40 p.m.
Reich deployed a parachute that was part of his plane, Dunn said. The feature is standard on Cirrus planes: Force is applied to a handle that ignites a rocket, which helps to unfurl the parachute, according to the Cirrus Web site.
The plane, tail No. 3452L, was owned by 52 Lima Corp., of New York City, Salac said. It sank.
