The plane lost power before the crash, The Times Union reported. The aircraft departed from and is based at Long Island MacArthur Airport, according to Caroline Smith, director of communications and public relations for the town of Islip, where the airport is located.

A map on FlightAware shows how the plane looped up and around Stewart and the Hudson before landing in the river. The flight-tracking website lists the aircraft's owner as American Airman Inc., an aviation training school based at MacArthur.

“Earlier this evening, we received a distress call regarding a small aircraft that had made an emergency landing in the Hudson River,” Orange County Executive Steve Neuhaus said in a social media post Monday night.

“At this time, we can report that all occupants have been recovered alive and are being treated at a local hospital and are expected to make a full recovery.”

Gov. Kathy Hochul called the incident "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," she wrote in a social media post. "Grateful to our first responders for their quick actions."
