Awful revelation about final moments of Spanish family killed in NYC
Two members of the Spanish family tragically killed when their tour helicopter plunged into New York's Hudson River were still alive when they were pulled out of the water.

Agustín Escobar, a Siemens executive from Spain, his wife Merce Camprubi Montal and their three young daughters aged four, five and son aged 11, were killed when their sightseeing chopper plummeted into the Hudson River on Thursday. The 36-year-old pilot, who has not been named, was also killed.

It has since emerged that two of the passengers were alive when divers pulled them out of the freezing water. They would likely have experienced unimaginable terror and pain during their final moments if they'd remained conscious after the brutal impact with the icy river.

The two relatives, who weren't named by officials, were later declared dead at the hospital, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said.

More than 100 dead in US following aviation crashes this year
The helicopter crash over the Hudson River has reignited safety fears about flying in the US.

According to US media, at least 111 people have died as a result of 24 aviation incidents across the country.

January saw two of the most high-profile crashes, one of which was the deadliest US air disaster in a generation.

An American Airlines jet carrying 64 passengers and three crew collided with a Black Hawk helicopter over the Potomac River in Washington DC.

There were no survivors.

Two days later, seven people were killed when a medical jet crashed in Philadelphia.

The Learjet generated a massive fireball when it smashed into the ground in a neighborhood not long after taking off from a small airport nearby

Watch: New footage may explain cause of helicopter crash
Terrifying new footage of a rotor blade can be seen plummeting into the water may explain the cause of the tragedy, aviation experts believe.

Jim Brauchle, a former military aviator and attorney of Motley Rice LLC told DailyMail.com, it was likely the main rotor blades separated from the aircraft and sliced the tail.

From the footage, it appears that the main rotor struck the body of the helicopter, cutting off the tail of the helicopter, which created an unrecoverable event.
The two main causes of this phenomenon are mechanical failure or excessive maneuvering. Still, a full investigation is needed to understand why this tragedy occurred. Having previously represented the families of tourists killed during a helicopter tour over the Hudson River, my heart goes out to the families at this catastrophic time.
The unidentified pilot, 36, from New York Helicopter radioed base to warn that they were running out of fuel just before the tragedy struck. He was also killed in the crash.

See the video below:

Aviation expert suggests 'catastrophic mechanical failure' to blame for crash
Video of the crash suggested that a 'catastrophic mechanical failure' left the pilot with no chance to save the helicopter, said Justin Green, an aviation lawyer who was a helicopter pilot in the Marine Corps.

It is possible the helicopter's main rotors struck the tail boom, breaking it apart and causing the cabin to free fall, Green said.

'They were dead as soon as whatever happened happened,' Green said.

There's no indication they had any control over the craft. No pilot could have prevented that accident once they lost the lifts. It's like a rock falling to the ground. It's heartbreaking.

The family were on vacation in New York to celebrate the birthday of one of their children, according to Spanish newspaper El Diario.

New York Helicopter Crashes Into Hudson River, New Jersey, United States - 10 Apr 2025
Let's see how eyewitnesses reacted to the horrifying sight of a helicopter crashing into the Hudson River which lies between the US states of New York and New Jersey

Rashmi Kamkeri
The 30-year-old engineer, was working remotely from her apartment when she heard a deafening crash about 3.19pm on Thursday. From her window - which overlooks the Hudson River running between New York and New Jersey - she saw the tragedy as it unfolded.

It was horrifying. I thought it was thunder and ten seconds later I saw the helicopter 10 feet above the water falling and then it made a big splash and went underneath the water. I panicked... then saw a piece of the helicopter fall into the water. The Waterway boat was moving and then it took a turn. I was almost in tears praying that someone would come and save them. I wished there would be someone survives. I am so sad.
Jacqueline and Aidan White
The coupole, who also live nearby, were outside with their dog Tuukka when an alert pinged on their phones about the tragedy.

I can’t even imagine their families. They are probably asleep and might not even know because of the time difference. It's so terrible.
Bruce Wall
The Jersey City resident described how the helicopter broke apart mid-air before it crashed into the river

It was falling apart probably 15 feet before it actually fell and then the tail whipped off and the propeller fell while it was falling.
Brian Marks
The father said he was at the park with his children on Thursday as the helicopter went down.

He said one of his children asked 'what's that sound', while the second asked 'do you think it was an earthquake?' I said, ''no we would feel it'',' prompting his child to ask again: 'Do you think a building pancaked?'

Dani Horbiak
Ms Horbiak at her Jersey City home when she heard what sounded like 'several gunshots in a row, almost, in the air.' She looked out her window and saw the chopper 'splash in several pieces into the river.'

Lesly Camacho
A hostess at a restaurant along the river in Hoboken, said the helicopter was spinning uncontrollably with 'a bunch of smoke coming out' before it slammed into the water.

Senator calls for ban on New York tourist helicopters
New York State Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal has called for a ban on tourist helicopter tours following the fatal crash in the Hudson River.

The Democrat, who has been trying to limit helicopter traffic over the city to first responders, news and necessary transport, said New York was 'minutes' away from disaster with the aircraft close to crashing into the ground instead of the water.

According to ABC 7 New York, he said:

We averted disaster possibly by just minutes. And that is the concern here. Which is if a helicopter gets in trouble in a densely populated area like Manhattan, the disaster could be far worse.
There's no reason to allow tourists and tour flight operators to use our valuable precious airspace. the danger is that FAA regulates airspace above 500 feet, so the city and state are prohibited from passing laws that make tourist choppers safer.

Troubled past of helicopter company behind NYC crash that killed six
The helicopter company involved in Thursday's fatal Hudson River crash has been plagued by near-misses in the past - including an eerily similar crash landing in the same waters 12 years earlier.

The chopper involved in the crash was a N216MH Bell 206L-4 which had been leased from Louisiana-based company Meridian Helicopters.

In 2013, one of the tour company's helicopters was forced to make an emergency landing on the Hudson River after it lost power in eerily similar circumstances to Thursday's tragedy.

Who is investigating the fatal helicopter crash?
The Federal Aviation Administration has confirmed it is investigating the helicopter crash alongside the National Transportation Safety Board.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the NTSB will lead the investigation with President Donald Trump declaring announcements relating to how and why the aircraft crashed would be made 'shortly'.

In a post on X, Secretary Duffy explained no air traffic control services were provided to the helicopter before the crash as it was in a Special Flight Rules Area.

Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop said the New York Police Department and New Jersey State Police will resume dive operations on Friday morning with major parts of the aircraft yet to be salvaged.

Everything we know about the helicopter that crashed in the Hudson
The helicopter has been identified as a Bell 206

10/08/2022 FILE: EXCLUSIVE 10/08/2022 A Bell 206 tour helicopter is spotted over The Hudson River in New York City.This tourist helicopter with the tail number N216MH was reported to be involved in a fatal crash today in the Hudson [email protected] Please byline:TheImageDirect.com*EXCLUSIVE PLEASE EMAIL [email protected] FOR FEES BEFORE USE
The Federal Aviation Administration identified the helicopter which crashed into the Hudson River as a Bell 206.

It was built in 2004 and had an airworthiness certificate issued in 2016 that was good until 2029, according to FAA records.

The model is widely used in commercial and government aviation, including by sightseeing companies, TV news stations and police.

It was initially developed for the U.S. Army before being adapted for other uses. Thousands have been manufactured over the years.

The aircraft was operated by New York Helicopter, a local tour company.

A person who answered the phone at the home of the company's owner, Michael Roth, said he declined to comment. Roth told the New York Post he was devastated and had 'no clue' why the crash happened.

'The only thing I know by watching a video of the helicopter falling down, that the main rotor blades weren't on the helicopter,' the Post quoted him as saying. He added that he had not seen such a thing happen during his 30 years in the helicopter business, but noted: 'These are machines, and they break.'

New York's history of fatal helicopter crashes
Helicopter parts are recovered from the Hudson River

JERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY - APRIL 10: A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers barge removes parts of a helicopter that crashed into the Hudson River on April 10, 2025 in Jersey City, New Jersey.

(Photo by James Devaney/Getty Images)
At least 38 people have died in helicopter accidents in New York City since 1977.

A collision between a plane and a tourist helicopter over the Hudson in 2009 killed nine people, and five died in 2018 when a charter helicopter offering "open door" flights went down into the East River.

New York Helicopters also owned a Bell 206 that lost power and made an emergency landing on the Hudson during a sightseeing tour in June 2013.

The pilot managed to land safely, and he and the passengers - a family of four Swedes - were uninjured. The National Transportation Safety Board found that a maintenance flub and an engine lubrication anomaly led to the power cutoff.

Thursday's crash was the first for a helicopter in the city since one hit the roof of a skyscraper in 2019, killing the pilot.

The accidents - and the noise caused by helicopters - have repeatedly led some community activists and officials to propose banning or restricting traffic at Manhattan heliports.

The helicopter flew for approximately 16 minutes before going down into the water.

It took off from the Wall Street Heliport and did a circle near the Statue of Liberty before flying up the Hudson River to the George Washington Bridge at about 1,000ft.

Investigators say it is too early to say what may have caused the crash as recovery work continues.

Aviation experts speculate on cause of crash
Aviation experts have started to speculat on what may have caused the helicopter to tumble into the Hudson River on Thursday.

FOX 5 NY's meteorologist and certified pilot Nick Gregory, for example, said it appears the rotor blades separated from the aircraft, which meant that 'there's no way to maintain any lift' rendering the pilot powerless.

Once the blades detached 'it took out the tail, the tail rotor' leaving the pilot with no control over the aircraft because in this case 'there's no power at all, no way to be able to control the situation.'
