Two still missing after collision over Hudson River

NEW YORK (CNN)  — Divers will make another attempt Monday to find two remaining victims from the collision of a small plane and a sightseeing helicopter over the Hudson River.

Nine people, including five Italian tourists, were aboard the aircraft when they collided shortly before noon Saturday. Seven bodies have been pulled from waters up to 50 feet deep by divers working in near-zero visibility.

The search was put on hold as a storm approached Sunday evening, police said.

Investigators had raised the wreckage of the helicopter, but the plane remained missing.

New York police said they thought side-scan sonar pointed them to the wreckage of the Piper Saratoga PA-32 just north of where the helicopter went down, but Deborah Hersman, chairwoman of the National Transportation Safety Board, said swift current and low visibility hindered divers.
