A seaplane carrying eight people crashed into New York City’s East River on Sunday, with emergency responders rushing to the scene, video shows.

Footage of the river shows the plane bobbing in the water with one wing submerged as rescue crews work to get the passengers out.

The plane took a hard landing in the choppy waters and partially capsized at just after 12 p.m., officials told The Post.

Eight people were rescued from the plane by the FDNY. Two passengers with minor injuries were evaluated by emergency medical staff, officials said.

The crash unfolded near the Manhattan ferry and Skyport terminal along 23rd Street and FDR Drive.  

After the passengers were removed from the plane, the ship was put upright on the water and towed back to the docks.

At least five ships were seen aiding in the response, with another seaplane spotted nearby.

Recreational boater Dan Thys and his wife were on the closest ship to the downed plane — and were the first to respond.

The couple was cruising down the East River toward New York Harbor in their Eastbay 43 express cruiser to try to catch an armada of tall ships that set sail on Saturday for July 4th when the seaplane suddenly crashed — causing them to leap into action.

Thys, of Pelham, recalled noticing the plane abort a landing and attempt to take off again, then try to land in the opposite direction, before the harrowing accident unfolded. 

“We were cruising; we were going down into the harbor. And since we were the closest vessel next to the plane, we went right over, and one of the pilots was standing … on one of the floats,” Thys told The Post. 

The pilot accepted Thys’ offer for help, which included handing over life jackets, but an NYPD rescue boat quickly took over and the boater moved out of the way.

“He — I’m sure — was a little shaken,” Thys said of the pilot. “The first thing that rang through our mind is how can we help?”

“And then very shortly thereafter the NYPD came up, and they told us they were taking over and so we backed off and let the NYPD take care of it,” he said. 

Thys noted that the waters were “fairly rough” and that the journey into the harbor was a “very, very bouncy ride.”

Pictures taken by Thys captured the pilot crouching on a float beside the partially submerged seaplane as an NYPD boat approached the aircraft. 

“It’s an unusual experience. I hope it won’t happen again. I read that there are two people who were injured. I don’t know what the injuries are, but I hope everybody’s OK.”

An investigation into the crash remains ongoing, police said. 

The incident comes less than a month after another seaplane was rescued from the East River after it was struck by a wave during takeoff and left it struggling in the water near the Throgs Neck Bridge.
