48 mins ago. Nine people including Italian tourists were killed today Sat, when a small plane hit a helicopter over New York and crashed into the Hudson River, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said. The plans was a Piper Saratoga which hit the rear of the helicopter. The search goes on for survivors. I am sorry to report that there were children on board.
I am lucky if I remember to turn the camera on and remove the lens cap!!!!, but I have a go.
A link with the italian newspaper "Il Corriere della Sera" with a number of pictures .....
