Close encounter between military craft and helicopter in NYC

Only hours after the devastating plane crash in Washington D.C. that claimed 67 lives, another potentially dangerous air incident was caught on camera over New York City.

Professional diver Donald Gann filmed a tense moment over the Hudson River on Thursday.

His video shows a military cargo plane flying unusually low in front of the Manhattan skyline. A civilian helicopter crosses its flight path at an alarmingly close distance.

From Gann’s vantage point, it was unclear exactly how close the two aircraft came to colliding. However, in the wake of the Washington D.C. tragedy, tensions are running high, and the nation remains on edge.

Another Scare: United Airlines Plane Catches Fire

Meanwhile, another alarming incident unfolded at Houston Airport. A United Airlines plane caught fire just before takeoff.

Videos show flames near the aircraft’s wing, causing panic among passengers. The plane was immediately evacuated as fear spread through the cabin.
