New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg told reporters it is thought the helicopter was upside down when it crashed. He said it was not clear what caused the crash. Aboard the helicopter were a pilot and four passengers - a husband and wife, both British citizens, the wife's daughter, who is also British and died at the scene, and the daughter's Australian friend.
