A vintage World War Two aircraft has crashed in the Hudson River between New York and New Jersey.

The plane - a single-seat P-47 Thunderbolt - went down two miles (3.2km) south of George Washington Bridge.

Divers later recovered a body - believed to be that of the pilot - from the submerged plane.

The cause of the crash has not been confirmed, but engine failure has been cited as a possible cause.
