New Yorkers might remember that eerie incident about 10-15 years ago in which a traffic helicopter crashed in the river (I don't remember if it was the Hudson River or the East River) while the traffic reporter was on the air live.

I think the WNBC chopper crash was into the Passaic River in New Jersey.

I remember hearing that. I think her name was Jane Doornacker. It was horrible to listen to as it was going down and she was screaming to "hit the water".

I remember -- it was the Hudson. The reporter in the helicopter was screaming to the pilot "Hit the water, hit the water!" I guess she thought that they would survive if they hit the water rather than the pavement. I'll never forget that.
