NBC Airs Home Video of Hudson River Mid-Air Collision

NBC’s New York local affiliate WNBC aired exclusive home video of the tragic collision between a small airplane and a tourist helicopter during their newscast tonight. The video, shot by a tourist aboard a boat on the Hudson, captures the moments before and the stunning impact when the small plane collided with a sightseeing helicopter shortly after noon this past Saturday. Video after the jump…
Tragically, the footage appears to have been recorded by friends of the Italian nationals who were on the helicopter, and perished as a result of the crash. WNBC anchor Chuck Scarborough says that the video “may play a key role in the NTSB’s investigation of the tragedy that claimed nine lives last Saturday.” Warning: the video is shocking and may be upsetting to watch.
