In New York (USA), six people died after the crash of a Bell 206 helicopter near the Hudson River. The ship fell apart in the wind and sank to the ground.
RBC-Ukraine reports this, citing the Associated Press.
As reported by the New York Fire Department, information about the plane crash that occurred between Manhattan and the New Jersey waterfront appeared at four around 15:17 at the hour of the hour (close to 21:00 outside Kiev).
Eyewitnesses to the tragedy and representatives of law enforcement agencies found out that the helicopter flew away in the wind and went down in the Hudson River, killing all six people who were on board.
“The official does not have the right to speak publicly and prefers anonymity,” reads the AP publication.
Bruce Wall reported that the helicopter “collapsed” in the wind, and that the tail section and propeller were torn apart.
In social media, there were publicized shots that showed parts of the helicopter falling into the water, and the board itself, overturned and entrenched in the river. At this hour, the ritual chapels circled around the helicopter.
