Helicopter crashes in the Hudson River in New York City, the 6 on board killed: Fuentes

The six people on board were killed when a helicopter immersed themselves in the Hudson River for low Manhattan in New York City on Thursday afternoon, ABC News told ABC News.

The helicopter took a pilot, two adults and three children, according to sources of application of the law. Family members were tourists from Spain, fountains said.

The helicopter was in the air around Manhattan for about 15 minutes before the accident. The video showed that the helicopter immersed himself in the water without a tail rotor or a blade of the main rotor.

Dani Horbiack told ABC News that he saw the helicopter “fall from the sky” from the window of his apartment.

“I heard five or six strong noises that sounded almost like shots in the sky and I saw that the pieces fell, then I saw him fall into the river,” said Horbiack.

“He was walking and the helicopter fell at an angle of 45 degrees,” Eric Campoverde told ABC News. “Great splash, I was very afraid.”

“It sounded like a sononic boom,” said a witness New York Wabc ABC Station. He said he saw the “helicopter divided into two with the rotor flying.”

Another witness told Wabc that “a propeller broke into pieces.”

The helicopter, identified by the Federal Aviation Administration as Bell 206 helicopter, was on his sixth flight of the day. It was found upside down in the 50 degree water when rescuers arrived at the scene, which was closer to the New Jersey side of the Hudson River, according to the sources.
