NEW YORK — New York
authorities say a helicopter carrying four Swedish tourists has landed in the
Hudson River off Manhattan, but everyone has been rescued.
The incident happened shortly before noon Sunday in the
section of the river near 79th Street. The pilot and four passengers were taken
to shore.
The fire department says the passengers were two adults and
two children from Sweden.
William Parra tells the New York Post he was having brunch
nearby when he saw the helicopter.
He says: "Ten feet above the water, and it just went
down. There was a huge splash."
In January, a small plane crashed and sank in the Hudson
River off Yonkers. Two people were rescued.
