HOBOKEN, N.J. — Two bodies were pulled Tuesday from the wreckage, left, of a small plane that collided with a sightseeing helicopter over the Hudson River, meaning all nine crash victims have been recovered, police said.
Medical examiners will determine whether the bodies are those of the plane’s pilot and a passenger, chief police spokesman Paul Browne said.
Saturday’s crash killed three Pennsylvania residents on the plane and five Italian tourists and a pilot on the copter.
The last two bodies were recovered at about 5 p.m. as recovery workers salvaged the first piece of the plane from the murky Hudson. The Piper aircraft was found earlier in about 60 feet of water.
The plane collided with the helicopter in the congested airspace between New Jersey and Manhattan. The Associated Press
