NEWBURGH, N.Y. — Another miracle on the Hudson?

A small plane crashed on the Hudson River in Newburgh, N.Y., on Monday night, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. Two people were on board the Cessna 172 when it made an ice landing around 8 p.m., the FAA said.

The pilot and a passenger both survived with minor injuries, Gov. Kathy Hochul said.

”Another miracle on the Hudson. Thank God, both the pilot and passenger of a single-engine plane that performed an ice landing near Newburgh have been located with only minor injuries. Grateful to our first responders for their quick actions,” Hochul said in a statement.

According to WABC, first responders located the plane quickly and the two occupants were able to swim to the shore. Middle Hope Fire Department officials said both were evaluated at the scene before being taken to the hospital; they’re expected to make a full recovery.

A cause of the crash has not been disclosed. The FAA said it is investigating.

The incident occurred east of New York Stewart International Airport in Upstate New York, nearly 60 miles from New York City.

Hochul and others were quick to compare it to 2009’s “Miracle on the Hudson,” when pilot Sully Sullenberger safely landed a passenger plane on the Hudson River after bird strikes caused a double-engine failure. All 155 people on board survived, though many suffered injuries during the water landing near Manhattan.
