Six people, including three children, were killed after a helicopter carrying a family of tourists crashed into the Hudson River in New York, authorities have said.
The family of five was from Spain and the sixth person was the pilot, New York City Mayor Eric Adams told reporters on Thursday.
All were onboard the helicopter at the time of the crash, which is under investigation.
Authorities have yet to release the identities, but they have been widely named as Agustín Escobar and his wife Mercè Camprubí Montal, who were both executives at Siemens, and their children, aged four, five and 11.
