A helicopter fell short of the landing pad and crashed into the Hudson River in New York City on Wednesday afternoon, injuring one person on board.

 

周三下午，纽约一架直升机没停上停机坪，坠入哈德逊河，机上一人受伤。
 

 

The helicopter reportedly missed the landing pad on Manhattan's West 30th Street and the Hudson River at around 2:30 p.m. (1830 GMT) and slipped into the water, local media and authorities said.

 

The pilot, who was alone in the helicopter, escaped and was rescued from water with non-life-threatening injuries shortly after the crash, according to the New York City Fire Department (FDNY).

 

A heliport worker on land was also slightly injured by flying debris¹, said FDNY.

 

The helicopter, a Bell 206, belongs to Blade, a digitally-powered aviation company based in New York City which is often called the "Uber of helicopters," local media reported.

 

Emergency workers flooded the scene after the crash and the authorities have advised people and traffic to avoid the area.
