🚨 #BREAKING: Reports of an AIRCRAFT DOWN in the Hudson River in NYC
FDNY responding. Unknown casualties.
DEVELOPING…
FNC reporting a family on a NYC helicopter tour. Family possibly from Spain.
Makes sense, engineering-wise...
Jesus nut failure?
They’re all dead. That was not a survivable crash.
Let us pray that is what happened. An entire family from Spain and the pilot are dead, six people, three adults and three children......
Allegedly, video of the same helicopter prior to the crash...
That same video is posted from a 2019 crash.
From the video it looks like the tail boom broke off, but it’s hard to tell.
May God have mercy on their souls.
WOw, go full screen and slow it down to 0.25 speed and you can see it came apart mid air.
Fox screwed this up the accident happened in New Jersey near the air input tower for the Lincoln Tunnel. Its Beng handled by New Jersey
The Hudson river is one entire side of Manhattan...I’d hope they’d be more specific than that. Looks like this is in lower Manhattan.
I wonder what the Iranian airborne calls it? An inshallah nut?
I am a born & bred Manhattanite, from an oldish NYC family. I know the area, so just posted facts.
I've been on the Tappan Zee bridge ( shan't EVER use the new name ) many times over, so know that area as well.
Believe it or not...I was just trying to be helpful; so pardon me. Would you rather that next time, I just call you names for nit know anything but posting it anyway?
Dang
No it’s not. It’s the Tappan Zee.
One of my classmates in high school died in Vietname while piloting a helicopter. Described it as “misadventure”. At the time we were told “friendly fire”
I have no idea . My knowledge of helos is as a passenger on a few flights.
The first second or so looks like it was in a nose-dive before it pulls out of it. I don’t think that’s a normal flight for a sightseeing type helicopter.
Meanwhile, in Sydney, we are still in our summer clothes, although the days are getting shorter. It is the hottest autumn most of us can remember. People are taking this as proof of ‘glowbull worming’, but I think it is just a late season change (thus, you are still cold in N.Y.)
Terrible about this helicopter crash. How can a helicopter just fall to pieces mid-air? It would also be good to have a full accounting of the previous crash, when a BlackHawk flew into a plane.
Saw the video on X; was that splashy impact hard enough to kill the occupants with their lap belts? No air bags either, i’m guessing.
