Eight people are rescued after a Quest Kodiak 100 seaplane makes a hard landing in New York City’s East River. Multiple outlets report the incident occurs near Brooklyn/Manhattan in the river, shortly after midday on Sunday, 5 June. ABC News and BBC News describe eight people aboard the aircraft at the time of the landing. Police say the seaplane comes down and “titled” into the water, leading to rough conditions for those on board. Responders including Fire Department units remove the passengers from the aircraft, and BBC News reports that two of the eight people have minor injuries. Other accounts describe the plane as landing hard in the river rather than a broader “crash,” and Simple Flying notes the seaplane hits rough waters. Manchester Evening News adds that the privately owned plane is reportedly en route to a seaplane terminal on the east side of the city when the incident happens. Across reports, the overall outcome is that all eight people are rescued, with limited injuries reported.
