we can tell you what the mayor of new york city said. mayor bloomberg held a news conference and he almost immediately said that this is a tragedy. it will not and does not have a happy ending. he confirmed the worst fears, that there were no survivors of this midair collision that happened shortly after noon east coast time. he calls it not survivable. he repeated that again. he said there was a piper saratoga that took off from teterboro airport, three people on board, including a child. and it was heading over the corridor here, visual flight rules in the busy hudson corridor and it collided with a tourist helicopter with five italian tourists on board and a pilot and then almost immediately, the mayor said, the plane ran into the backside of the chopper. it would appear that the exclusive pictures of that midair collision which fox just obtained from a family, confirms that fact and we could not tell and so far, nobody has been able to determine whether the plane was ascending or descending. but there are blind spots for both the cho
