A Roosevelt Island resident asked:

Did anyone else hear that LOW LOUD ASS helicopter above The Landings about half an hour ago? It was so low it shook the windows.

Flew over Roosevelt Island East River a few minutes ago too

I've seen lots of Ospreys over NYC (don't ask) but never this low and usually over Hudson. @nyc311 didn't issue any standard warnings of military overflights either, although that's not uncommon.

Three low flying military Osprey aircraft rattled buildings and nerves on the UES Wednesday afternoon around 2:15 after flying low over buildings for reasons we don’t yet know. We’ve reached out the NYPD, US Army and FAA for info. #UES #NYC
