Overview of Hudson River helicopter crash
A tragic helicopter crash in Manhattan has resulted in the deaths of a Spanish family of five and the pilot. The crash occurred during what was supposed to be a joyride to celebrate a birthday, with the helicopter breaking apart midair and plunging into the Hudson River. Recovery efforts are underway to retrieve the wreckage and investigate the cause of the crash. The helicopter departed from a heliport, veered off course, and ultimately lost control, crashing near a pier in Hoboken. All six victims, including three children, were pronounced dead after being pulled from the water. The investigation is being led by the National Transportation Safety Board to determine the exact cause of the incident. The Spanish couple, Agustín Escobar and Merce Camprubi Montal, were among the adult victims who tragically lost their lives. They were visiting New York City to celebrate Montal's 40th birthday. The CEO of the helicopter tour company involved in the crash reported that the pilot had requested fuel before the tragic event. The community and authorities are mourning the loss and expressing condolences to the families of the victims.
