A sightseeing helicopter operated by FlyNYON was forced to make an emergency landing Tuesday morning outside of New York City after the pilot reported an engine failure. The Bell 206 helicopter was en route to Brooklyn from Kearny, New Jersey, on a maintenance flight when the issue occurred, according to CNN.
The aircraft landed safely at the Port Jersey Port Authority Marine Terminal in Bayonne, New Jersey, around 9 a.m. There were no reported injuries or fires.
Shocking photos from the scene showed that the helicopter's main cabin appeared intact, but its tail rotor had been sheared off and was found hanging from a nearby fence. The Port Authority confirmed the emergency landing to The Post.
