A tragic helicopter crash in the Hudson River claimed the lives of a Spanish family of five—Agustín Escobar, Mercè Camprubí Montal, and their three children—along with their pilot, Seankese ‘Sean’ Johnson. Relatives, including Joan Camprubí, paid tribute to the family’s happiness and expressed their grief, while New York Mayor Eric Adams laid flowers at the crash site, emphasizing community support. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the cause, with reports of a flock of birds in the area prior to the incident, but no definitive cause has been confirmed yet.
