Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] On April 10, a helicopter crashed near Jersey City, located opposite New York City. The plane fell into the Hudson River. The police reported the incident on the social network X.



No details have been given, but police have already arrived at the crash site. It is reported that one person is believed to have died.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on the evening of January 29, a Bombardier CRJ700 passenger plane and a Black Hawk military helicopter collided in mid-air near Ronald Reagan Airport in Washington. Both aircraft crashed into the river. There were three US military personnel on board the helicopter, which belonged to the US ground forces. There were 64 people on board the plane, including four crew members.

On February 1, the Russian Embassy in the United States officially confirmed the deaths of Russians in the plane crash over Washington. Among the dead were the 1994 world figure skating champions Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov, as well as former figure skater Alexander Kirsanov, who previously competed in ice dancing.

The pilot of a Bombardier CRJ700 passenger jet attempted to prevent a collision with a military helicopter. The military helicopter belonged to an aviation brigade responsible for transporting “high-ranking officials.”
