Eight rescued from seaplane that made 'hard landing' in Manhattan river

An eight-passenger seaplane made a 'hard landing' in the East River in Manhattan, resulting in the aircraft partially capsizing. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) stated that air traffic control was not providing services to the aircraft during the incident. The New York Times reported that the plane originated from the Hamptons and was en route to a seaplane base when it struck a wave during landing. This incident follows another similar event three weeks prior, where a two-seater seaplane was damaged by a large wave while attempting to take off from the East River, prompting emergency response efforts by the Fire Department of New York.
