NEW YORK (Reuters) - A tour helicopter collided with a small plane and both crashed outside Hoboken, New Jersey, sending debris falling into the Hudson River, police reported on Saturday.
Search and rescue crews were in the area, which is just across the Hudson from New York City. Fox TV said one survivor had been pulled from the river and police divers were looking for others. The weather around the time of the accident was reported to be clear and mild.
The helicopter was operated by Liberty Helicopter, local media said. The company says on its website it is the largest sightseeing and charter helicopter operator in the U.S. Northeast.
