Helicopter Crashes into River in the U.S.: Tech Company CEO and Family Killed
In a tragic helicopter crash in the United States, the CEO of a technology company and his entire family lost their lives. Augustin Escobar, the head of the Spain division of a German technology firm, was visiting New York with his family when the incident occurred.
The helicopter, carrying six people including Augustin Escobar, was flying over the Hudson River when it suddenly began to spin uncontrollably before crashing upside down into the water. Flames broke out immediately following the crash, leading to the deaths of all six individuals on board. The victims included Escobar, his wife, their three children, and the helicopter pilot.
Rescue teams responded promptly to the emergency and began operations using boats to access the crash site. Officials reported that the helicopter was submerged upside down in the river and indicated that part of the aircraft had broken off mid-air before the crash.
United States President Donald Trump expressed deep sorrow over the incident. The helicopter involved in the accident was a Bell 206 model, which was operated by the New York Tours division for sightseeing purposes.
