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.”

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.
