At least 5 dead in helicopter crash in the Hudson River. 

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

I haven't heard much but believe it was a tour helicopter.  Very sad.

6 dead and it was a tour operator and sounds like they were from out of the country. It was a family

This is so sad. I can't imagine taking a family vacation and having something like this happen. It's heartbreaking.

 

I just watched a video on X that shows the helicopter crash, and while I'm not an expert it looked to me like something had happened to the rear rotor, maybe? It doesn't look quite right?

It hit the water really hard (the white in the distance past the car was the splash when it hit)
