Jane Dornacker (October 1, 1947 in Albuquerque, New Mexico – October 22, 1986 in New York) was an American rock musician, actress, and comedian turned traffic reporter for WNBC 66 AM (later WFAN 66). She was married to Bob Knickerbocker.
On October 22, 1986, at 4:44 PM, while Dornacker was giving one of the station's N-Copter traffic reports, the helicopter plunged from an altitude of roughly 75 feet into the Hudson River. On her final radio broadcast she was giving a report of a tractor trailer and a car getting into an accident and a car fire. She also stated that the outbound Holland Tunnel was heavy with traffic and that the Lincoln Tunnel was much better with traffic and a car fire. Dornacker was starting her report for incoming New Jersey traffic when the helicopter stalled in mid broadcast.
