NEW YORK — The remains of five Italian tourists killed in an air collision over the Hudson River were taken to Kennedy Airport to be sent home Wednesday as divers recovered 30 pieces of the helicopter in which they had plunged to their deaths.

A police escort led the five black hearses that lined Madison Avenue to the airport after relatives and friends held a prayer service.

The tourists — a father and his teenage son, and a husband, his wife and their teenage son — were among nine people who died in the collision Saturday between a helicopter and a small plane.
