On April 10, 2025, a Bell 206 LongRanger IV helicopter on a sightseeing tour crashed into the Hudson River near Jersey City, New Jersey, across the river from New York City. All six onboard—a family of five and the pilot—were killed. Operated by New York Helicopter, the aircraft was on its eighth flight of the day when its tail boom failed and initiated a mid-air breakup.
