Another Helicopter Crashes into the East River

Wild: A helicopter crashed into the East River, near the United Nations, this afternoon; this is the second helicopter incident this week, after a crash on Tuesday. The helicopter has now sunk into the river. Early reports say that the people on board the helicopter seem to have survived, although there is a diver underwater (Newsday wasn't sure if the diver was looking for more passengers or the helicopter). It's also unclear whether or not the helicopter was for sightseeing.
