The survivor is unconfirmed, the 'rescued' individual may have been a swimmer.

NJSP reporting one male pilot enroute to hospital with minor injuries. Someone else previously posted they grabbed a swimmer not related to the crash but now reporting "male pilot" so that's gotta be good.

Well, yes....it sucks. But if the pilot survived then AWESOME. And from the video I saw, whomever the pilot was landed a Jug in the water quite skillfully. Given the alternative of crashing a powerless Thunderbolt in the middle of downtown Manhattan, I think this was the best possible outcome of some pretty crappy options.

The NJSP retracted their statement that the pilot was rescued.
