Chilling Final Photos

A tragic final photo has emerged of a smiling family of five, moments before they lost their lives in the Hudson River helicopter crash on April 10. The victims included Agustin Escobar, a top executive at Siemens, his wife Merce Camprubi Montal, a global energy tech manager, and their three children. The unnamed pilot also perished in the crash. The family was on a sightseeing tour when the helicopter broke apart mid-air and plunged into the river around 3:15 p.m.

A former colleague, Juan Ignacio Diaz, remembered Escobar as a calm, kind, and dependable friend who deeply valued his family. Diaz described Escobar as a “true family man” who loved his wife and children immensely, and praised him for his steady nature and ability to bring comfort even in tough times. Four people died at the scene, with the remaining two passing away in hospital. The exact cause of the crash remains under investigation. The loss has left many devastated, with heartfelt tributes pouring in for the beloved family.
