NEW YORK -- Two people have been pulled from the Hudson River after a small plane crashed off the shore of Yonkers, N.Y.

Police said it appears only two people were aboard the single-engine plane. It went down north of New York City shortly before noon.

Video from a TV helicopter showed a police chopper pulling the survivors from the water.

There's no word on where the flight originated.
