An eyewitness said he saw the helicopter split in two.
“It sounded like a sonic boom on my right. I look up, I literally just see a helicopter splitting in 2, with the rotor flying off in the sky… going so fast, it just went straight into the water. I’ve never seen anything like that in my life,” the eyewitness said.

CNN reported:
Six people – including three children – are dead after a passenger helicopter crashed into the Hudson River, said New York City Mayor Eric Adams.
The passengers included a pilot and a family visiting from Spain, he said.
At 3:17 p.m., multiple 911 calls reported a helicopter crash in the Hudson River near the New Jersey coastline at Pier A Park in Hoboken, New York Police Department Commissioner Jessica Tisch said. When first responders arrived, police pulled four people out of the water and FDNY pulled out two people, she said.
Four victims were declared dead on scene while an additional two people were taken to local hospitals, where they were declared dead, Tisch said.
“Our hearts go out to the family of those who were on board,” Adams said.
The helicopter, operated by the tour company New York Helicopter Charter, is currently submerged in the river.
