New York Sen. Chuck Schumer is calling on federal authorities to revoke the operating permits of the helicopter tour company whose sightseeing chopper broke apart in midair and plunged into the Hudson River.

The New York Police Department said Thursday afternoon that there was a helicopter crash into the Hudson River.

No video or camera recorders have been recovered from the Bell 206 helicopter, the NTSB said, and none of the equipment on it had recorded information that would help the investigation.
