twinstar_ca Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 CNN covering mid air between a tour helicopter and a PA32 fixed wing... 1 recovered so far from the water but no one has said if a survivor or a body... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Just heard an eye witness report saying the fixed wing was flying faster and caught up to the helicopter and hit the rotor. Then the helicopter spun and fell into the hudson. Just what I heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
