By GhanaSummary Newsroom1 min read
At least eight people have been rescued from a seaplane that landed in New York City's East River, authorities say.
New York fire officials responded to reports of an aircraft down at around midday local time (16:00 GMT) off the marina at East 23rd Street and FDR Drive in Manhattan.
The New York Times reported that the plane was coming from the Hamptons - a seaside retreat for affluent New Yorkers - and was heading to a seaplane base when it struck a wave while landing, leading to it partially capsizing.
