There are six people who died in the accident of the helicopter who fell in the Hudson River in New York. The aircraft crashed next to Manhattan’s West Side Highway.
On board there was a family of Spanish tourists, with three children. It would be Agustìn E., a manager of the Siemens company in Spain. This was reported by the local press that cites police sources. The Spanish embassy in the United States, contacted by Efe, did not want to specify these details and only confirmed that there are five Spanish citizens who died.
Agustìn E. had been appointed responsible for the Siemens railway mobility division last December, after having held for two years the office of CEO of Siemens Spain.
Meanwhile, the New York Helicopters Tours, a company that organizes helicopter tours, has published photos of the family a moment before going aboard the white plane where they would find death. The two appear smiling, posing in front of the company’s cameras, as usual.
In August 2009, always in the Hudson he fell a helicopter after a clash with a tourism plane: 5 Italians died, two were teenagers. The river is a very busy navigation channel and was also the scene of the dramatic accident of 2009, when a US Airways plane landed healthy and except in water with all 155 people on board who saved themselves, nicknamed “miracle on the Hudson”.
