Pilot's Last Words Before Hudson River Crash were Chilling
The pilot of the New York Helicopter Tour helicopter that crashed into the Hudson River in New York City had communicated that the aircraft was running out of fuel shortly before the tragic incident took place, claiming the lives of all six individuals aboard. The victims included Agustín Escobar, the president of Siemens Spain, his wife, Merce Camprubi Montal, and their three children who were visiting from Spain. Eyewitnesses described harrowing scenes and noises as the helicopter plummeted into the water. The helicopter had taken off from the Wall Street Heliport, circled the Statue of Liberty, and was headed towards the George Washington Bridge when it crashed near Pier 40. Following the crash, the CEO of New York Helicopter revealed that the pilot had radioed about needing fuel just before the accident occurred. The NTSB has initiated an investigation into the incident, which saw all victims recovered by rescue divers, with tragically no survivors. The Mayor of New York City expressed condolences to the families of the deceased individuals.
