Helicopter crashed in New York
A helicopter crashed Tuesday in New York's East River near midtown Manhattan as it approached a helipad for a landing, killing a woman who was on board and injuring four other people, the CNN reports.
The woman who was killed apparently was trapped in the backseat of the Bell 206 chopper and was the sole passenger unable to escape the craft as it inverted and sank, according to officials and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
