<p>The New York Fire Department said it received a report of the crash at 3.17pm.</p>

<p>All six people on board were killed, an anonymous law enforcement official told The Associated Press.</p>
<p>Witness Bruce Wall said he saw the helicopter “falling apart” in mid-air, with the tail and propeller coming off. The propeller was still spinning without the aircraft as it fell, he said.</p>
<p>Lesly Camacho, who works at a restaurant along the river in Hoboken, New Jersey, said she saw the helicopter spinning uncontrollably before it slammed into the water.</p>
<p>“There was a bunch of smoke coming out. It was spinning pretty fast, and it landed in the water really hard,” she said.</p>
<p>Videos posted on social media showed parts of the helicopter splashing into the water, and the overturned aircraft was submerged. Multiple rescue boats were seen circling the aircraft.</p>
<p>The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) identified the helicopter as a Bell 206.</p>
<p>The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board planned to investigate.</p>
<p>The rescue craft was near the end of a long maintenance pier for a ventilation tower serving the Holland Tunnel.</p>
<p>Fire trucks and other emergency vehicles were on streets near the scene with their lights flashing.</p>
<p>The skies over Manhattan are routinely filled with both planes and helicopters, both private recreational aircraft and commercial and tourist flights.</p>
<p>Manhattan has several helipads that whisk business executives and others to destinations throughout the metropolitan area.</p>
<p>Over the years, there have been multiple crashes, including a collision between a plane and a tourist helicopter over the Hudson River in 2009 that killed nine people and the 2018 crash of a charter helicopter offering “open door” flights that went down into the East River, killing five people.</p>
