A Spanish family of five on an aerial sightseeing tour of New York City died along with their pilot when their helicopter crashed upside down into the Hudson River.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams said the single-engine Bell 206 helicopter operated by sightseeing company New York Helicopter crashed into the river separating Manhattan from New Jersey shortly after 3:15 p.m. on April 10.
Adams said the victims were five members of a Spanish family — two adults and three children — and the pilot. Divers helped remove the victims from the water. Four were pronounced dead at the scene, while two others were taken to area hospitals where they died, officials said.
