Shane McMahon Gives Update On His Condition Following Helicopter Emergency Landing (Photo/Video)

July 19, 2017

As we noted moments ago, WWE SmackDown Live Commissioner Shane McMahon was involved in a helicopter crash, as it landed in water off Gilgo Beach in New York this morning. The helicopter departed Westchester County Airport, when a commercial flight heading to Kennedy airport heard the call and relayed it to controllers.

Scott Fishman of the Miami Herald gave the update the Shane was “okay.”

Glad to hear Shane McMahon is okay. Scary. https://t.co/IJ4rds7DLs #WWE #SDLive

Shane then provided an update, and a sign of gratitude for surviving the crash.

“I’d like to thank the man upstairs for looking out this morning & thanks to pilot Mario, Suffolk County Marine Bureau & Babylon Coast Guard.”

You can view the interview that Shane and his pilot were a part of following the crash in the video below.
