Six dead after helicopter crashes in New York’s Hudson River

Six people, including three children, were killed after a helicopter carrying a family of Spanish tourists crashed into the Hudson River in New York on Thursday, authorities said.
Three children and three adults were aboard the helicopter at the time of the crash. Five of the individuals on board were from Spain and the sixth person was the pilot, New York City Mayor Eric Adams told reporters.
“Our hearts go out to the families of those who were onboard,” he said.
New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said the identities of the victims would not be released until the families were notified. The cause of the crash is under investigation.
Video footage posted to social media appears to show the helicopter falling out of the sky upside down and splashing down in the Hudson River.
