very sad video. I am only a private pilot and unfortunately all those air traffic rules are written in the blood of previous accident victims, the see and avoid rules for traffic separation are too often only an afterthought while enjoying the freedom of flight. to all other pilots, ya shit happens but don't let this happen to you. see and avoid and make lots of aircraft position calls so you can be visible in the eyes and the mind of surrounding pilots. traffic not in sight, R>I>P
It's a footnote compared to the accident and loss of life, but maybe they should require a course in basic camera handling in schools along with typing. Rule #1: Keep the camera pointed where your attention is. It would help document a lot of incidents, it really would.
No disrespect or anything, but it seems to me as the Heli pilot was at fault. I would imagine the chopper would have a better over all view of everything. Its amazing the odds tho, thousands of feet of air and they still manage to even come close.
I have seen how people have been commenting that it is shit hard to see below u in low wing aircraft, couldn't agree more, even in a high wing aircraft in that same situation it can be extremely difficult to spot other aircraft. Just an unfortunate accident
I just saw the pictures of the bodies recovered from the helicopter and omg it's so sad and crazy to see what a crash like this can do to people bodies. Its sad and sicknening at the same time.
@gazamehsay1 Because they have what i call "America's funniest home video" skills. I am a trained photographer in both stills and video. The untrained camera person gets what i call. "Hypnotized" by what they are looking at and the tendency is to follow the movement of the action away from the actual shot. That is why AFV videos tend to show allot of the ground!! A trained videographer has skill to resist this tendency and hold the composed shot.
A major cause of this mid-air collision was the air traffic controller who failed to communicate properly with the airplane pilot who had just taken off and had asked for assistance in maintaining clearance from other aircraft. Apparently the controller was distracted with a personal phone call. Nine people in all were killed, mostly Italian tourists and included at least two teen aged boys.
A major cause of this mid-air collision recently revealed was the air traffic controller who failed to monitor properly communications with the airplane pilot (who has asked for assistance with nearby aircraft after just taking off) in combination of being distracted with a personal phone call.

The cameraman was filming a helicopter and a small plane, not a mid air collision for your entertainment! If some of you are more concerned about the framing, rather than the loss of life, you can go straight to Rotten com and masturbate all you want!
@GlueRman ..SHUT UP!... Because if u honestly think ppl are watching these videos for the sentimental value, ur retarted. I clicked this video along with 344,000 other ppl because we WANTED to see the graphic collision. u can try and take the high and mighty route and pretend that u care. But deep down ur just as sick and depraved as the rest of us. Difference is.... I'm not lying to myself. So now im gonna go masterbate on ur moms face. How bout those rotten apples!
@GlueRman its people like you who sit on their high horses thinking they are better than everyone else. how is it wrong for people to like this shit? loads of people are interested in seeing crashes because they are... INTERESTING TO SOME. not everyone has to love every piece of human life on earth. sure we all acknowledge that people died but we didnt know them so why should we care? if we were to die they wouldnt care about us... so stop being such a tree hugging faggot, ya faggot.
@GlueRman your a much bigger faggot than i thought you were talking like that on the internet ahaha. looking at your favourites i think that i am just gonna leave you alone, freak.
When you are videotaping a accident or whatever keep the fucking camera still you feel that you rather watch it with your own eyes rather than video so really you witness a air disaster without videotaping. ALWAYS keep videotapping no matter what to the very end,
IMO there was a failure of the radar system - New york TRACON (Radar) Uses ARTS systems (Standard FAA Approved Radar) which sounds an audible warning and a flashing beacon light above the terminal controllers station if 2 planes become too close mid-flight. im not hating, its just my opinion.
And it appears the Lance is in a right turn while the helo was climbing, hence the impact of the right wing and the rotor blades. Correct. The Hudson River corridor is insanely busy and you have to keep a sharp eye out and do what ATC tells you to do. The Lance was not in contact with ATC at the time as he was handed over from KTEB tower to KEWR tower but the Lance had not yet contacted Newark. Accidents happen. I saw nothing reckless by either pilot. This was just an unfortunate accident.
I'm curious as to why some people on here have commented that light airplanes should be banned. I've been flying these airplanes since 1990. I am also curious where some of the non-pilots who have commented here have the knowledge to judge what exactly happened. The Piper Lance approached the helo from the right rear and slightly above. The Lance is a low-wing airplane and in my opinion as a pilot of both high and low-wing airplanes, the helo was in his blind spot, obscured by his left wing.
@fighter512 Scary isn't it. I wouldn't want to fly those VFR corridors over the Hudson or anywhere in the NYC Metro area. I am perfectly qualified to do it but that's just too many small aircraft operating in a small area and this sort of thing can and does happen. Warrior huh? Nice airplane! That's the very little brother to the Lance. Cherokees are terrific airplanes.

There are 3 idiots in this clip. Two of them are the pilots, they couldnt see a plane coming towards them. And the biggest idiot is the asshole who coul dnot video tape the whole thing. He/she started video taping the women's arm soon after the crash...ruined the whole thing for viewers...dumb ass.
are you kidding me? you're such an asshole. It was his uncle's plane, and my friend and his father were flying with the uncle to pick up the other brother from his sleep-away camp. people like you make me sick. and how about you research who was on board instead of acting like a stupid dick
why would i make that up? i have no reason to. he lived in upper dublin, pa with his mom, dad and brother. I've gone to school with him since i was little and just recently my school hosted a tennis tournament in his memory. just shut up
im not sure who baseballrocks is but he DOES have the facts right. i was also good friends with him from school and his father and his uncle were on the flight. I've known the family since i was 3 years old. how do you expect that to be made up you dumb little shit. think before you speak.
@ChrisMiller1994 ok im not going to get mad at you since that is hard to believe but he isnt making it up... he went to my school and his dad went to school with my mom and his uncle, the pilot, were all on that plane so dont go around saying hes making shit up because it really happened and it makes me sadder to think there are poeple not believing wat actually happened
Hmmm,.. and I'm sure they weren't in the least bit suddenly shocked considering the cameraman experienced 9 people die before his eyes. Sometimes the camera is the last thing ppl think of dude. Could you keep a camera still in that moment? Answer - you really have no fucking clue bc you havent been in that situation, unless you film ppl die for a living
wats your name and address so i can smack the shit out of u in person. im tired of internet tough guys typing tough guy shit on the computer knowing damn well nothing will happen. if u dont have the balls to say that to my face of the intent to talk shit directly to my then keep ur fuckin mouth shut. i left a comment on the video, not u so mind ur fuckin business......if u would like to continue this disgussion then message me back and we can make the proper againgements.
really? did you happen to see how much it was zoomed in, in order to be able to see the collision? take your camera, zoom in 12x and tell me how still your video is...
Which Hudson river crash...the Commercial ones? Sully or this one and there was actually another one too. You are definitely no erudite, so perhaps you should save your reckless ambiguous banter for something you have your facts for correct. Your entire assertion is mere conjecture.
Research is easily definable and backed by statistics, use that white tissue between your ears for something other than boasting your lack of knowledge about aviation.
The most difficult thing about mid air collisions is the two aircraft don't "move" across each others' windscreens or side windows. They appear motionless, but grow steadily in size. A very insidious phenomenon.
Turns out from NBC that the Air Traffic Controller was shooting the shit with one of the pilots right before the impact happened after the ATC tapes were just released about an hour ago.....
No, the Air Traffic Controller was having a phone call with a woman about a dead cat that was in front of her place. The woman was not an occupant of either aircraft.
i simply can not understand how someone in flight can "accidentally" hit someone else. In all due respect for lives were lost, didn't one of the pilots see the other aircraft? I just can't see the possibility.
what are you implying, that pilots are incapable idiots who do nothing to prevent collisions like this? they rely on air traffic controllers to avoid mid-air crashes these. aircraft are traveling at hundreds of miles an hour in all different directions, it's not like avoiding an accident when you're driving. they don't just see it happening and do nothing, you can clearly see one of the pilots pull away to avoid the collision at the last minute, but it was obviously too late
not at all i have total respect for pilots especially the guy who saved the lives in the other incident, sorry if your perception of my comment is off. Im just curious i mean i just can't see how someone can't see something coming in advance, being we have peripheral vision etc. But perhaps i need to be in the situation to understand fully.
This is why when we fly we MUST always scan... All us pilots hear it and were taught it but still this happens. This is what happens when we slip, and keep our heads in the cockpit. This video will help me remember to scan, scan, and then scan again next time I fly. If you watch the video again you can see the piper pilot make an attempt to turn at the last minute. Unfortunately to late. The Piper had right of way and maybe thought the heli would change direction. Maybe not.
why the fuck would you face the camera on it when crash is about to happen and face away when the plane hits it. some kind of retard was filmin this. i would be totally focused on crash no movement no retarted screamin i would be like some sick shit
You're a bell end, but let me explain why. Firstly they quite clearly were not expecting a crash so some sort of reaction after the impact is natural, and you did still see it after the crash for a few seconds. So don't be such a prick
ok thats cool I could agree with you, but you have to understand, he's just some dude filming this. he's not a professional, just a tourist with a camera. He probably put the camera down because he was distracted by the crash. if I saw a crash, my reaction wouldnt be "oh shit lemme get this on film" it be like ok we should probably go and help.
Humans are such animals, and nothing more. When the collision happend, everyone got progressivley louder, just like chimps do when they get excited or stressed.
The light plane pilot must've been drunk or on drug. I've seen enough of this light plane owners that often take their bird out while they still on stupor. we should've deploy missile batteries all around the city so that we can shot down both terrorist and this drunken menace.
We all die for a reason. Everything happens for a reason. If nobody died, the world would really be hell. How do you explain everything? How do you explain your LIFE? Accident? We're the only planet with life around us in the Solar System. Yeah, I don't think so.
Saved are those who believe, but do not see. Yeah, I don't know if there's anything out there, but if you're looking for E.T's or equally stupid life forms, then you may be retarded. There is most likely life on Mars, since we did find water. Water started our lives, it might be starting life on Mars.
I never said I was looking for ETs almight JMANGUITAR5150. I simply asked for you to present evidence for you belief. Water doesn't mean there are lifeforms in there. It's possible, not there are.
That is truly horrible. Rest In Peace to the families lost & the remaining family member I know its so hard for them. Im a New Yorker & alot of us but not all know that those pilots are coked up alot of the times. They sit around wait for tourist & go out & fly a copter while high.
Its also up to the Air Traffic controllers also......There are such things as fog & low lying clouds!...................Idiot Governments cutting costs.................
Accidents are going to happen in any activity no matter what. There is nothing you can do to make anything 100% safe. But if you look at the statistics the hard fact is aircraft of any kind are 1000x safer than the car you get into every day. You don't hear about the 200 people killed by drunks everyday. Outlaw alcohol.
Bgrassguy is right. Watch the movie "One Six Right" before you comment again.
Some of you people are making the most uneducated comments I've ever seen.
Note that the Piper banks right at the last second, which may be because that he saw the helicopter. The helicopter showed no sign of adverse movement.
Also, the Hudson River VFR Corridor is uncontrolled below 1100 feet, so no ATC clearance is required. A simple knowledge of See-and-avoid is required, and pilots have a special frequency in that corridor to report their positions.
To doubters - Notice the plane's path in relation to the helicopter - the plane was turning to proceed in the same direction as the chopper. The chopper stayed its course during the whole taping.
But also notice that the plane seemed to be, if moving (changing position) at all, climbing. The visibility is incredibly low for the lower half of the windshield, therefore hiding the chopper from the pilot's view. Simple mistake...
And yet ANOTHER light plane has crash landed... this time into a NJ parking lot.
These things fall out of the sky on a frequent basis and need to be kept AWAY from populated areas.
And as for for flying below 1100ft over the Hudson River... Light planes should NOT be flying that low... pilots need to use their brains and stay the hell out of the way.
please do all of us a favor and go finish elementary school... you do NOT understand how vital light planes are to our economy and businesses... and no, they do not "fall" out of the sky on a frequent basis... you can go places in a small plane that you wouldn't ever be able to go in a car or big airliner. I advise you to take a flight in a small airplane and you will realize how fun, convenient, and all around versatile they can be...
ever think it might be the pilots and not the planes???? the plane looks to be climbing and if he was climbing, that would put the helicopter out of sight and at the last minute, the pilot sees the other aircraft and tries to avoid it, being too late... you see, of course "the problem was known even back then" because there is always going to be pilot error as long as humans are at the controls... just go take a flight in a small plane before you reply back to me... even if you have flown b4
And HERE WE GO AGAIN as two more light planes collide just outside of Phoenix. More deaths... more light aircraft PROBLEMS.
That's 1) The Hudson chopper disaster, 2) the NJ parking lot, 3) the Los Angeles highway, and 4) the Phoenix collision... (have I missed any?)
You do not have to wait long for light aircraft disaster stories. It is time the law dealt with them and their pea-brained "pilots" before they hurt anyone else.
are u a fucking pilot.......I didnt think so, yes true about the cars, that some walk away, and most of the time the airplane crashes dont, but u dont have to critize GA. there are gonna be problems in everything, and of course ther are gonna be crashes but u dont have to be an ass about it bro.
Not some... most, MOST people walk away from car crashes.
And it's not good enough to say there are "problems in everything..."
Light plane pilots have been crashing for a long, long time... it's time it was DEALT with.
The ball player who crashed into an apartment building in NYC, the family who died in Boise, Idaho, the plane that fell into a car dealership in Orange County, the Hudson crash... it goes on and on.
And we both know another one will do it very soon.
so how do u think it should be dealt with????? just band general aviation altogether???? ur one of those guys who are on a mission to band this? so real quick how many plane crashes are there......maybe...just maybe a hundred in general aviation?
wonder if US news mentioned al quaeda on the evening news......terrible misfortune anyway.

@ChrisMiller1994 ok im not going to get mad at you since that is hard to believe but he isnt making it up... he went to my school and his dad went to school with my mom and his uncle, the pilot, were all on that plane so dont go around saying hes making shit up because it really happened and it makes me sadder to think there are poeple not believing wat actually happened

Hmmm,.. and I'm sure they weren't in the least bit suddenly shocked considering the cameraman experienced 9 people die before his eyes. Sometimes the camera is the last thing ppl think of dude. Could you keep a camera still in that moment? Answer - you really have no fucking clue bc you havent been in that situation, unless you film ppl die for a living

Which Hudson river crash...the Commercial ones? Sully or this one and there was actually another one too. You are definitely no erudite, so perhaps you should save your reckless ambiguous banter for something you have your facts for correct. Your entire assertion is mere conjecture.

If you count from August, we have had these light plane "incidents":
1) The Hudson River crash
2) New Jersey parking lot crash
3) Los Angeles crash landing on busy highway
4) Florida crash
5) Phoenix collision
6) Louisiana collision
DON'T tell me that the Hudson River incident is just " one of those things" or an "inevitable statistic."
There is obviously something wrong with light plane pilot/aircraft safety... and they should be banned from metro areas.

AND YET ANOTHER light plane crash has happened... this time in Louisiana.
Two of them colliding in mid air. it sure doesn't take long before another buffoon light plane pilot kills someone else.
bloggerjoe 2 years ago
The most difficult thing about mid air collisions is the two aircraft don't "move" across each others' windscreens or side windows. They appear motionless, but grow steadily in size. A very insidious phenomenon.

Turns out from NBC that the Air Traffic Controller was shooting the shit with one of the pilots right before the impact happened after the ATC tapes were just released about an hour ago.....

No, the Air Traffic Controller was having a phone call with a woman about a dead cat that was in front of her place. The woman was not an occupant of either aircraft.

i simply can not understand how someone in flight can "accidentally" hit someone else. In all due respect for lives were lost, didn't one of the pilots see the other aircraft? I just can't see the possibility.

justblaze3417 2 years ago

Gtrplyr1 2 years ago
what are you implying, that pilots are incapable idiots who do nothing to prevent collisions like this? they rely on air traffic controllers to avoid mid-air crashes these. aircraft are traveling at hundreds of miles an hour in all different directions, it's not like avoiding an accident when you're driving. they don't just see it happening and do nothing, you can clearly see one of the pilots pull away to avoid the collision at the last minute, but it was obviously too late
justblaze3417 2 years ago
not at all i have total respect for pilots especially the guy who saved the lives in the other incident, sorry if your perception of my comment is off. Im just curious i mean i just can't see how someone can't see something coming in advance, being we have peripheral vision etc. But perhaps i need to be in the situation to understand fully.
Gtrplyr1 2 years ago
This is why when we fly we MUST always scan... All us pilots hear it and were taught it but still this happens. This is what happens when we slip, and keep our heads in the cockpit. This video will help me remember to scan, scan, and then scan again next time I fly. If you watch the video again you can see the piper pilot make an attempt to turn at the last minute. Unfortunately to late. The Piper had right of way and maybe thought the heli would change direction. Maybe not.

You're a bell end, but let me explain why. Firstly they quite clearly were not expecting a crash so some sort of reaction after the impact is natural, and you did still see it after the crash for a few seconds. So don't be such a prick

ok thats cool I could agree with you, but you have to understand, he's just some dude filming this. he's not a professional, just a tourist with a camera. He probably put the camera down because he was distracted by the crash. if I saw a crash, my reaction wouldnt be "oh shit lemme get this on film" it be like ok we should probably go and help.

Accidents are going to happen in any activity no matter what. There is nothing you can do to make anything 100% safe. But if you look at the statistics the hard fact is aircraft of any kind are 1000x safer than the car you get into every day. You don't hear about the 200 people killed by drunks everyday. Outlaw alcohol.

Some of you people are making the most uneducated comments I've ever seen.
Note that the Piper banks right at the last second, which may be because that he saw the helicopter. The helicopter showed no sign of adverse movement.
Also, the Hudson River VFR Corridor is uncontrolled below 1100 feet, so no ATC clearance is required. A simple knowledge of See-and-avoid is required, and pilots have a special frequency in that corridor to report their positions.
TonyAirlines 2 years ago 2
Great point, Tony....
To doubters - Notice the plane's path in relation to the helicopter - the plane was turning to proceed in the same direction as the chopper. The chopper stayed its course during the whole taping.
But also notice that the plane seemed to be, if moving (changing position) at all, climbing. The visibility is incredibly low for the lower half of the windshield, therefore hiding the chopper from the pilot's view. Simple mistake...
cybervegeto 2 years ago
And yet ANOTHER light plane has crash landed... this time into a NJ parking lot.
These things fall out of the sky on a frequent basis and need to be kept AWAY from populated areas.
And as for for flying below 1100ft over the Hudson River... Light planes should NOT be flying that low... pilots need to use their brains and stay the hell out of the way.
bloggerjoe 2 years ago
please do all of us a favor and go finish elementary school... you do NOT understand how vital light planes are to our economy and businesses... and no, they do not "fall" out of the sky on a frequent basis... you can go places in a small plane that you wouldn't ever be able to go in a car or big airliner. I advise you to take a flight in a small airplane and you will realize how fun, convenient, and all around versatile they can be...
bgrassguy17 2 years ago
bgrassguy, why don't YOU do us all a favor and wait five more years before making anymore stupid, naiive comments.
There was a book written around 1975 which documented the frequency of small plane crashes in the US. The problem was known even back then.
In 1978 it was a light plane that crashed into a PSA jetliner over San Diego... killing everyone. Check the youtube photos.
Here we are all these years later, and it's the same crap. Crashing into buildings, freeways, car dealerships etc etc
bloggerjoe 2 years ago
ever think it might be the pilots and not the planes???? the plane looks to be climbing and if he was climbing, that would put the helicopter out of sight and at the last minute, the pilot sees the other aircraft and tries to avoid it, being too late... you see, of course "the problem was known even back then" because there is always going to be pilot error as long as humans are at the controls... just go take a flight in a small plane before you reply back to me... even if you have flown b4
bgrassguy17 2 years ago
And HERE WE GO AGAIN as two more light planes collide just outside of Phoenix. More deaths... more light aircraft PROBLEMS.
That's 1) The Hudson chopper disaster, 2) the NJ parking lot, 3) the Los Angeles highway, and 4) the Phoenix collision... (have I missed any?)
You do not have to wait long for light aircraft disaster stories. It is time the law dealt with them and their pea-brained "pilots" before they hurt anyone else.

Not some... most, MOST people walk away from car crashes.
And it's not good enough to say there are "problems in everything..."
Light plane pilots have been crashing for a long, long time... it's time it was DEALT with.
The ball player who crashed into an apartment building in NYC, the family who died in Boise, Idaho, the plane that fell into a car dealership in Orange County, the Hudson crash... it goes on and on.
And we both know another one will do it very soon.
