Nine are dead after a mid-air collision over the Hudson River today. The collision involved a helicopter conducting a sightseeing operation and a Piper Saratoga. The Saratoga had just taken off from Teterboro. Witnesses reported seeing the Saratoga overtaking the helicopter just before the collision. The worst news: there was a child aboard the Saratoga. I hope grace met him and the others on the Hudson. My deepest sympathy is with those involved.
More on this soon.
