Six people are dead after a sightseeing helicopter crashed into the Hudson River on Thursday, April 10. The aircraft, carrying a visiting family from Spain — two parents and their three young children — and their pilot, broke apart mid-air, with debris and rotor blades seen falling separately into the water. The father, Agustín Escobar, was an executive at Siemens. Wreckage is still being recovered, and the cause of the crash has not yet been determined.
