A tourist helicopter crashed into the Hudson River, killing all aboard.
And information on the victims have been released.
They consisted of a Siemens exec Agustin Escobar, his wife, and their three young children.
Escobar led Siemens’ operations in Spain and Southwest Europe.
He was praised for his leadership.
The pilot, age 36, was also among the victims.
Authorities have not released the cause of the crash.
Some speculate there may have been issues with the ‘Jesus bolt’. Never heard of that either.
Wikipedia states:
“A Jesus nut is a slang term for the main rotor retaining nut or mast nut, which holds the main rotor to the mast of some helicopters.
ABC News reports:
An executive of Siemens, a European technology company, his wife and young children were aboard the tourist helicopter that plunged into New York City’s Hudson River on Thursday, leaving no survivors.
Agustin Escobar, his wife, Merce Camprubi Montal, and their children — aged 4, 5 and 11 years old — have been identified as victims in the crash along with the pilot, aged 36, law enforcement sources told ABC News.
Escobar was named as the head of Siemens’ division in Spain and Southwest Europe in 2022, according to a press release from the technology conglomerate.
The former head of Siemens’ Spanish arm, Miguel Ángel López, spoke highly of Escobar in the release, saying his work was “key” to the company’s success.
“With Agustín Escobar We have the best possible successor to lead, from now on, the company in Spain. In recent years his work has been key to Siemens’ success in the field of mobility and transport,” López said.
The identity of the pilot, who was flying the New York Helicopters chartered chopper, has not yet been released.
The family was visiting New York City from Barcelona, Spain, two Spanish officials told ABC News.
Shady business surrounding this crash…
The bolt that holds the rotor failed? That’s crazy, they call those bolts “ the Jesus Bolt” Those are attached strongly. must have sheared off.

Made in the USA (@Granolagranny1) Will they find tampering?
The single strong fixing that holds the body of a helicopter to its rotor is nicknamed the ‘Jesus nut’ because if the nut fails, Jesus is your only hope. [Credit: Alan Radecki] pic.twitter.com/uusJ3YmMEK
