NEW YORK CITY ? A student pilot and his instructor were rescued from the Hudson River on Monday after their single-engine plane crashed off the Yonkers city pier, police said.

They were pulled from the water by New York City police and Coast Guard divers, who jumped from rescue helicopters.

Both men had hypothermia but were stable at a hospital, New York Police Department spokesman Detective John Sweeney said.

The student was flying the Piper Warrior south along the river when the engine quit, said Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Jim Peters.

Instructor John Eberle, 43, of Marlton, N.J., and student Mark Sorey, 44, of Burlington, N.J., were the only ones aboard when the plane went down.
