Seaplane crashes in East River, cable car rescue in Russia
A seaplane made a hard landing in New York's East River after the pilot issued a mayday call, with the aircraft coming down between Brooklyn and Queens. Eight people were on board when a wing strut snapped and the plane plunged into the water, resulting in two minor injuries. In Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, 16 cable car passengers including children were stranded metres in the air when strong winds forced the ride to shut down, requiring emergency crews to use ropes to lower them safely to the ground.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
