The single engine
airplane went down in Breezy Point, Queens, around 7:30 p.m.,
New York police said.
Some of the plane's wreckage has been located and one body was
pulled from the water, a police spokesman said. No further
details were available.
It was unclear if there were other victims.
Search teams, including divers, were continuing "to collect &
search for debris. Investigation will continue through the
night," the department's Special Operations Division said on
Twitter.
Several witnesses called authorities to report seeing the plane
crash into the water, WABC-TV reported. The plane was registered
in New Hampshire and had a flight plan to go from New Hampshire
to Philadelphia, the station reported.
The Federal Aviation Administration would investigate, the
agency said.
