A tourist helicopter carrying a Spanish family crashed into the Hudson River near New York City on Thursday, killing all six aboard—including three children.
The Bell 206 chopper, operated by New York Helicopters, took off from Wall Street Heliport and crashed 15 minutes later near Hoboken.
Victims included Siemens executive Agustin Escobar, his wife, and their children, ages 4, 5, and 11, along with the 36-year-old pilot.
The helicopter flipped before impact and lost parts midair. NYPD and FDNY divers have recovered the bodies. The NTSB is investigating.
