Rescued from seaplane that landed in New York City's East River

Rescued from seaplane that landed in New York City’s East River, the incident unfolded on Sunday when authorities reported a plane down at about 12:01 local time (17:01 BST) off the marina near East 23rd Street and FDR Drive in Manhattan. New York fire officials responded, and the seaplane was found upright and later towed back to the dock. At least eight people were removed from the Kodiak 100 seaplane by fire department units, with two reporting minor injuries and refusing medical attention. The FAA said the pilot “made a hard landing,” snapping a wing strut, and it will investigate.
