A seaplane carrying eight people executed what the New York City fire department politely termed a 'hard landing' in the East River on Sunday, alarming bystanders but only delivering two minor injuries. The aircraft, a Kodiak 100, managed to stay upright and was towed back to dock, the department reported. Social media images captured the plane leaning on its side, left wing dipping into the water, with a helicopter circling above like a concerned parent. Local outlet WABC noted that two passengers received treatment for minor injuries, including 75-year-old Ada Todd, who told the hospital she remained 'in shock, in lots of pain, but happy to be alive.' The FAA stated that the hard landing caused 'a swing strut to snap' and that 'air traffic control was not providing services to the aircraft.' Meanwhile, CBS News published a video from a 16-year-old passenger that captured the moment of impact - the teen was apparently traveling with her grandmother, likely making for an unforgettable spring break story. The FAA is investigating, and WABC suggested the plane was heading from East Hampton, Long Island. No word on whether anyone's luggage got wet.
