susan candiotti live from lower manhattan. you described earlier, susan, just the location of this point, the focal point for the search-and-rescue mission not far from liberty island, statue of libber team. it also means it attracted a huge crowd. what are you seeing? >> fredericka, i have a poor connection with you. let me try to pick it up best i can. we are standing alongside the hudson river, lower manhattan, and hoboken new jersey other side. at our site is statue of liberty lower manhattan. the scene, helicopters flying overhead. i counted at least five or six boats, the fire department of new york, the u.s. coast guard has one near or on the scene here. new york city police department also assisting in this operation. and they are circling the area of this midair collision. where a small plane according to authorities appears to have taken off from teeterboro airport, small private airport in new jersey. and struck a helicopter in midair before both crashed into the hudson river. we are hearing reports of at least one

this is manhattan. we dealt with our share of plane tragedies, 9-11. we had a cessna go to coney island and land on a beach. at some point we can't wait for traditional investigation. we have to be more pro-active. >> i'm not a pilot, but i was astonished when i heard earlier that planes and aircraft traveling through this corridor and the hudson river do not have to check in with any air traffic controllers. there is no obligation on their part to file any kind of flight plan or anything like that. it is suggested that they communicate with other pilots on a mutually agreed upon, and pilots know about a certain radio frequency. it's not even mandatory that they do. >> we have more regulations for bus drivers and taxi drivers than we do with people dealing with this kind of machinery in our skies. i think it's time we examine this and there is nothing wrong with sitting down and figuring out, do we have the best safety protocol? if we don't, let's fix it. i think that is something we must deal with as an urgent matter. look, i've been to the lighter di

this is near lower manhattan.san candiotti was on shoreline there and did a great job describing what you are able to see. liberty island, statue of liberty, very close to this collision. as you see from these images we are getting from new york 1, it has attracted a huge crowd of people. a beautiful saturday midday there in manhattan. a lot of people who are out walking about. some eyewitnesses were simply taking a stroll there and heard the big bang and saw the collision of these planes. now it's attracted a number of people who are now watching an active intense rescue and search mission under way. john wiley is a retired commercial pilot, contributor for "aviation week" magazine, and is on the phone with us now. we reached out to you because you are very familiar with this area. we understand according to liberty tours which is where the helicopter originated, that the small aircraft may have taken off shortly before this collision from teterboro airport, which is a reliever airport where mostly small planes,

the manhattan area is very crowded.rea that the crash occurred in is called the hudson river corridor, and everybody has to operate under visual flight rules on that corridor. the bottom line with it is that the tour operators are always keeping in contact with each other, and pointing out other traffic, especially airplane traffic, which might not have the experience that the hell cough ter pilots have in that area. >> this has in the past been other crashes. i'm looking in my research, june 2007, a sightseeing helicopter crashed into the hudson north of lincoln tunnel in new york. it was heading south, as it sounds like this one may have been today. this were serious injuries, but when you hear that the blade of that hell helicopter was mangled and the wing of the plane, according to one eye eye-witness report, had come off, what is your sense in terms of the power of this collision? >> probably a very high energy collision. the possibility is also that the -- you know, the helicopter could have been flying on a prede

the liberty tour's euro copter a-star 350 just took off from manhattan's west side. the piper left new jersey's teterboro airport bound for the jerdzy shore. both were soon over the hudson. >> it is a crowded, busy area, and generally pilots that fly in this area are well trained and they certainly have plenty of practice flying there. >> link in the city you see helicopters touring around manhattan and it was pretty shocking. >> reporter: at this point it was unknown what communication was broadcast in either aircraft. in this narrow corridor, pilots typically announce their location, direction, altitude and intention. >> we heard a pop and we looked and we saw a small plane and a helicopter. they had apparently collided and they immediately fell into the river. >> reporter: witnesses say both aircraft sank quickly. divers located the wreckage of the helicopter 30 feet below the water's surface in murky conditions. memories are still fresh here of the celebrated us airways emergency landing on the same waters in january. today's outcome, though, tragically different

what is your name to give chris, macos x and my balcony which overlooks the manhattan skyline, and i sought the help dr. virtually break in pieces over the hudson into three pieces. i didn't see the plane hit it. it just sounded like the sputtering of the helicopter. it sliced it into, and then third part fell off and then the main part goes back and hudson. i ran out as fast as i could to see what's going on. >> one thing we keep hearing is the debris was not really seen. smack the debris that had like three trails of smoke coming from that but there is no explosion or anything. i didn't see fire synecdoche for your time. we continue to hear these sorts of stories as we stand here on the new jersey side of the hudson river and will continue to bring you latest. once again we are looking into a waterfront a late right now where there's a group of officers inside. they look as though they're having a meeting to plan together. the hoboken police, port authority, new jersey state police, governor corzine is inside, we're standing by waiting to hear what they will tell us. back to you. >

sandwiched between hoboken and lower manhattan there. we understand that a small aircraft and a tourist helicopter collided just after noontime. and eyewitness jasmine pann saw the whole thing. >> the only thing i saw was a black helicopter went down. we were all watching, it's like in the movie. and then they start, it was turning and then the head went down first. and then about three, four seconds later, i thought it was a wing of the helicopter but there is no wing for helicopters, probably the rotor blades. >> what did it look like? >> so if this is the head. i think it went down like this. so it was quick, yeah. >> did you see -- >> what did you do next, after you saw this? >> we all, three of our girls, we all called 911. i think it was probably busy. it said leave a message. that was a little bit funny. but very soon, about a minute, i just see like all of the other helicopters. and then people coming for the rescue. it was very quick. >> did you see the plane? did you see a plane? >> no, i did not see a plane. i didn't know ther

they talk off from the manhattan side or over hoboken, new jersey and go over in lower manhattan and see the empire state building the statue of liberty and then they land. you were mentioning go something very interesting. how this helicopter had no chance. he didn't see what hit him. he didn't see what was coming because this plane was either above or below and so the pilot of the plane in fact didn't know he perhaps was above or below this helicopter. >> you are reminding us from the mayor, quote the plane crashed into the back side of the chopper. >>> with great accuracy, who hit home and from what angle or coming up or coming down. wreckage will tell that tale did. >> julie: bob, it's julie banderas, the faa confirmed the small plane came from teterboro airport crashing in the hudson river. what can you tell us about any potential plane trouble, engine trouble that the plane might have experienced moments before making contact with the helicopter? >> that could be the case, 12 miles isn't very far. and the assuming that the piper -- taking off. he is not going to be very high. s
