McMahon, who was the only passenger in the Robinson R 44 helicopter, was unharmed in the incident. The pilot, whom New York’s ABC 7 identified as Mario Regtien also was uninjured in the unexpected landing.

“We heard some noise, and it became very clear to me that I could no longer continue flying the helicopter,” Regtien told reporters (via ABC) after the incident. “So I decided to do an auto-rotation landing in the water.”

“[This] made me super calm and we landed perfectly,” he added (via the AP).

The cause of the emergency landing, which occurred around 10:30 a.m. off the coast of Long Island’s Gilgo Beach, is not yet known. According to the Federal Aviation Administration, which spoke to the AP, the helicopter took off from Westchester County Airport in White Plains, N.Y. Sometime later, the pilot called for help before the helicopter landed in the water.

According to the AP, a commercial flight on its way to Kennedy International Airport in New York City heard Mario’s mayday call and informed the FAA.
