A helicopter plunged into the Hudson River off of Manhattan Thursday afternoon, killing all of those aboard.
Six people died in the crash, according to WABC-TV, which reported that the chopper was carrying a family of Spanish tourists when it went down.
Two adults and three children from the family were killed, along with the pilot.
WABC quoted a witness it did not name as saying he “thought it was a sonic boom or something” when he heard a noise that preceded the crash.
Video showed the chopper hitting the water.
