A tourist helicopter crashed into New York City's Hudson River on Thursday, killing all six aboard including three children, New York Mayor Eric Adams said. The pilot and five passengers were believed to include a family from Spain, Adams said at a press conference. The New York Helicopters tour aircraft departed at 2:59 p.m ET and later lost control, hitting the water upside down near Lower Manhattan at around 3:15 p.m. and becoming submerged in the river, officials said. New York City Police and Fire Department divers helped remove the victims from the water. Four were pronounced dead at the scene, while two others were taken to area hospitals where they succumbed to their injuries. The Federal Aviation Administration said the helicopter was a Bell 206. The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate.
