Local time on the 10th, New York City Mayor Adams said at a press conference:

The helicopter that fell into the Hudson River on the same day was carrying six people, including three children and three adults, all of whom have perished.

This helicopter crashed just 15 minutes after taking off from the Wall Street helipad.

It is reported that the passengers on board included the pilot and a family from Spain.

At around 15:17 local time on April 10, a helicopter crashed into the Hudson River in New York. The incident occurred near West Street and Spring Street.

The fire department's land and water rescue units quickly arrived at the scene to carry out rescue operations.

A witness said they heard a "huge roar" at the time of the accident.

Eric Campoverde told ABC News: "As I passed by, the helicopter crashed at a 45-degree angle." "The splash of water was huge—it was very terrifying."

"It sounded like a sonic boom," a witness said, seeing "the helicopter split into two pieces with the rotor flying off."

The helicopter, identified by the Federal Aviation Administration as a Bell 206, was overturned in the water when rescuers arrived, near the New Jersey side of the Hudson River.

On the same day, U.S. President Trump posted about the incident, saying the accident video was "chilling."

Trump said that Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and his team were on the scene. Specific details about the accident and how it will be handled will be announced soon.

New York City Mayor Adams said at the briefing: "We are deeply saddened by the families of the victims and the passengers on board."

The crash video shows that the helicopter had no tail rotor or main rotor blades when it fell into the water. Officials said the helicopter landed upside down in the water.

The communications team of the Spanish Foreign Ministry said that the Spanish Consulate in New York City is in contact with authorities to gather and confirm information and identities of those involved in the crash.

On the same day, another incident occurred at Reagan Airport in the United States.

The Federal Aviation Administration of the United States said that one of American Airlines' planes collided with the wingtip of another American Airlines plane while taxiing at Washington Reagan National Airport.

It is reported that one of the planes carried members of the U.S. Congress, and there were no casualties in the accident.

U.S. Representative Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey said on social media that the wing of the plane he was on was hit while waiting for takeoff, "Thank God everyone is safe."

The Federal Aviation Administration of the United States said in a statement that the incident occurred around 12:45 Eastern Time. The wing of an American Airlines Bombardier CRJ-900 aircraft collided with an E175 aircraft of the company on the taxiway.

The Federal Aviation Administration of the United States will investigate this incident.

So far this year, several incidents have occurred near Reagan National Airport in Washington.

On the evening of January 29, a U.S. passenger plane carrying 64 people collided with a U.S. military helicopter carrying 3 people and crashed into the river; no survivors were found.

On March 28, a Delta Air Lines Airbus A319 nearly collided with a U.S. Air Force T-38 jet while taking off from Reagan National Airport. Collision warning alarms went off in the cockpit.
