Spanish family of five killed in Hudson River helicopter crash

Six people killed including a Spanish family of five (three children aged 4, 5, and 11) and the pilot; two passengers died shortly after hospital admission.

On a clear Thursday afternoon above the Hudson River, a sightseeing helicopter carrying a Spanish family of five dissolved from the sky before witnesses on both shores, killing all six aboard. Agustín Escobar, his wife Mercè Camprubí, and their three young children — ages 4, 5, and 11 — had come to see New York from above; instead, they became part of a grief that crossed an ocean. The aircraft broke apart mid-flight, its tail separating before it struck the water inverted near Lower Manhattan, leaving investigators to search for answers in the wreckage of what had been an ordinary afternoon.
