Six people are dead after a New York City sightseeing helicopter crashed into the Hudson River near Jersey City, New Jersey, after the aircraft's rotor fell off during the flight.

In 1985, a Dauphin 360C helicopter operated by the Garden City, Long Island-based company, New York Helicopter, carrying six passengers, crash-landed in the East River, killing a man identified by reports at the time as a 40-year-old businessman from West Germany. Five additional passengers and two crew members survived.
