The son of WWE chairman and CEO Vince McMahon reportedly suffered no injuries in the crash.
From WABC-TV:
“The FAA says the Robinson R-44 helicopter with two aboard landed on its pontoon skids just before 10:30 a.m. Neither Shane McMahon nor pilot Mario Regtien was injured. Emergency responders, including two lifeguards, picked up the two and ferried them safety to shore. Both were wearing life jackets. NYPD Aviation and SCUBA units also responded and assisted in the rescue.”
“It’s very unsettling when all the sudden you have something happen,” McMahon said to WABC-TV. “You hear a bang, and then you start saying, ‘We’re going to do an emergency landing in the water.’ So yes, it was very unnerving. But again, Mario was super calm, which made me super calm. And we landed perfectly.”
