The skyline that towers over The Big Apple was captured in an unusual perspective after this seaplane landed in the East River on July 26.

Footage shows a point of view from the cockpit as it approaches the body of water that separates Brooklyn and Manhattan.

The filmer, Sean Klein, said online: "It was incredible. I was like a little kid the whole time.

"We got to listen to the comms. Very lucky."

Later he described the event as a bucket list moment.
