Description
A family from Spain was about to celebrate the ninth birthday of one of their children when their sightseeing helicopter broke apart in midair and crashed into the Hudson River between New York City and New Jersey, killing all six people aboard, officials said Friday.
Authorities including the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating Thursday's crash. There has been no word of a cause. NTSB investigators were examining the remnants of the helicopter Friday and planned to brief reporters.
The victims included Siemens executive Agustin Escobar, his wife, Mercè Camprubí Montal, who was a global manager at an energy technology company, and their three children, in addition to the pilot.
