## Transcript

Here's what we know at this time. At approximately 317 this afternoon, we began receiving multiple calls for a helicopter that crashed in the water. These calls generated the response of many agencies. As Deputy Mayor Daughtry stated, including FDNY, NYPD, the Port Authority, and our Jersey partners. The police officers in Jersey as well, and the Coast Guard. Uh, three adults and three children were on board a Bell 206 helicopter that had left from the downtown Sky port just about 3 p.m.. The pilot and a family visiting from Spain. With our preliminary information. As at this time, members of the FDNY and NYPD Harbor units arrived at the scene and divers from both agencies entered the water.

At this time, all six victims have been removed from the water and sadly, all six victims have been pronounced deceased. Again, we're praying for the families and our gratitude to the rescuers and the courage that was displayed in their dedication.
