The Spanish family of five – including three children – killed on a tour helicopter that crashed into New York City’s Hudson River have been identified.
Agustín Escobar, the president of the Spanish branch of the technology company Siemens, his wife Merce Camprubi Montal and their three children, aged 4, 5 and 11, were killed in the crash, along with the unnamed pilot, 36, ABC News reported.
Heartbreaking photos showed the family posing on the helipad and inside the aircraft before the crash.
The family had arrived in the Big Apple from Barcelona earlier in the day, law enforcement sources told the New York Post.
Escobar was appointed to serve as the CEO of Siemens in Spain in 2022 after previously serving as the CEO of Siemens Mobility Spain.
He also held various positions in Spain between 1998 and 2010, primarily in the energy sector. Additionally, Escobar served as the vice president of the German Chamber of Commerce for Spain.
