A privately operated seaplane makes a hard landing in New York City’s East River on Sunday, prompting an immediate emergency response. Multiple outlets report the aircraft carries about eight people, with at least one account stating up to 10. Witnesses and video shared by outlets show the seaplane partially capsizes after touchdown, with one wing reportedly submerged. Authorities, including FDNY and other responders, rescue the occupants and bring them ashore. Reports agree that all passengers are taken to safety, and that two people sustain minor injuries. In several accounts, a pilot issues a Mayday call before the incident, and at least one report says the seaplane is later righted and towed. Officials say they are investigating the cause of the hard landing. The incident follows a similar seaplane rescue reported in the previous month, according to one outlet. A passenger describes the incident to CBS News, reflecting firsthand accounts of the emergency landing and subsequent rescue efforts.
