7 BODIES PULLED FROM HUDSON PLANE CRASH

A helicopter and a private plane crashed into one another a midst the NYC sky Saturday. No one is believed to have survived.

Here's the story from Yahoo News:

Divers pulled a helicopter and four more bodies out of the murky Hudson River on Sunday in their search for victims, wreckage and explanations from a midair collision of a sightseeing helicopter and a small plane that killed nine people.

The dead from Saturday's crash include three fathers and their three teenage sons. The private plane carried a family from Pennsylvania, and the helicopter held five Italian tourists celebrating a couple's 25th wedding anniversary.

The plane approached the helicopter, which had just taken off for a 12-minute tour, from behind and clipped it with a wing, witnesses said. Both aircraft split apart and fell into the river.

Searchers fought swift currents, dealt with visibility as low as one foot, and dodged debris dumped along the river bottom as they brought four more bodies on to boats. One was found in the fuselage of the helicopter, New Jersey State Police Sgt. Stephen Jones said. Two bodies remained missing.

The searches went on as a steady stream of tour boats floated down the Hudson. Restrictions put in place after the crash kept sightseeing helicopter tours grounded Sunday.

Divers suspended their search at about 6 p.m. Sunday and it will resume Monday morning, National Transportation Safety Board spokesman Keith Holloway said.

So tragic. Another plane crash. . more lives lost. . . like I said before it's the Summer of Death.
