New aerial video footage released by the New York City Police Department (NYPD) shows the moments after a tour helicopter crashed into the Hudson River last week, killing six people, including three children.

Aerial videos of the April 10 response show divers jumping into the murky water from NYPD boats and wading toward the mangled aircraft.

The Bell 206 L-4 helicopter floated upside down as divers worked to recover the pilot and five passengers, including Agustin Escobar, his wife, Mercè Camprubí Montal, and their three young children.

Divers were able to find the main fuselage, including the cockpit and cabin, the forward portion of the tail boom, horizontal stabilizer finlets and vertical fin, according to the NTSB.

Investigators are continuing to search for wreckage using side-scanning sonar.

The helicopter’s operator, New York Helicopter Charter Inc., reported the aircraft was last inspected March 1 and completed seven tour flights prior to the wreck.

Authorities are still working to determine the cause of the crash.
