A small World War II vintage plane celebrating its 75th anniversary crashed in the Hudson between New York and New Jersey on May 27, 2016 and police recovered a body from the single-seat plane, authorities said. The plane, a P-47 Thunderbolt, crashed on a part of the river near where a US Airways commercial jet carrying 155 people splash-landed in 2009 in what became known as the Miracle on the Hudson.

"Apparently the aircraft suffered an in-flight engine failure and the pilot put it into the Hudson," Lewi said. "I'm told the aircraft is at the bottom of the Hudson." The three planes, the P-47, a P-40 and a photo plane, had been flying over the Hudson to shoot promotional material for the Jones Beach air show, Lewi said.
