A vintage World War II-era fighter plane crashed into the Hudson River, between New York and New Jersey, Friday, and one good samaritan immediately leapt into the water to search for the pilot.

The exact circumstances of the crash remain unknown, according to New Jersey State Police, but the pilot survived, sustaining only minor injuries.

In a statement, the Federal Aviation Administration said it received a notification that a World War II-era P-47 Thunderbolt may have gone down in the river, two miles south of the George Washington Bridge, according to ABC News. The statement said the agency sent search and rescue to the scene.

The FAA later added that the aircraft was one of three that departed from Republic Airport on Long Island. The other two planes returned safely to the airport, the FAA said.
