Manhattan Helicopter Accident

A corporate helicopter plunged into the East River just blocks south of the United Nations building. Rescuers pulled all eight on board out of the choppy water.

One of the pilots took salt water into his lungs and was in critical condition, authorities said. The other seven were in good condition.

Two pilots and six businessmen were aboard the Sikorsky S-76 when it went down seconds after taking off from the 34th Street heliport. The chopper made it barely one block north before it suddenly tumbled tail-first into the water.

The cause of the crash was not immediately known. The helicopter sank afterward, and police scuba divers were searching for the wreckage.

Three of the victims had been swept by the current more than a dozen blocks south before they were rescued, apparently by a private vessel.

Re: Manhattan Helicopter Accident

There was a spate of like three or four copter accidents in Manhattan a couple of years ago. It was getting freaky.
