A tragic helicopter crash in the Hudson River claimed the lives of a family from Spain and the pilot. The helicopter, a Bell 206, departed from a helipad in downtown Manhattan and lost control after turning at the George Washington Bridge. Witnesses reported hearing a loud noise, possibly indicating engine failure, before the helicopter crashed into the water. Three adults and three children were on board at the time of the crash. Calls to 911 operators rushed in as bystanders tried to help. The Mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, offered condolences to the victims’ family during a news conference. Both the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the cause of the crash. The investigation is ongoing, and the victims are being lifted up in prayer as the community mourns this tragic event.
