  1. >The children were aged 4, 5 and 11.

    No matter what you might think about CEOs etc. Those kids didn’t deserve this.

  3. Tragic story. So sad especially with children involved. I wouldn’t ride a helicopter or a small plane ever.

  4. Terrifying way to go. May their souls rest in peace.

  5. Flying in the US has become extremely dangerous since the orange man took office. Id rather fly in a helicopter in africa or asia than the US to be honest…

  6. Such a tragic incident. Any loss of life no matter the age is sad. Wish their families well and hope they pull through the loss.

  7. He seems to have been one of the good guys. May they rest in peace.

  9. Tragic. R.i.P to the Pilot and his Passengers. Sympathy to all those involved including the technician who serviced the Helicopter and the Rescue Workers.

  10. Utterly heartbreaking for their wider family – to lose their adult children and three grandchildren. I just cannot imagine the pain that comes from such a tragedy.

  12. Omg those babies… I wish I hadn’t seen this…

  13. At least they died all together. I don’t mean that in a cynical way. It would be horrible if one of the family members survived alone. No matter who.

    It’s tragic 🙁

  15. Helicopter crashes are happening way too often compared to the number of rides. Colin McRae, Kobe Bryant, the Leicester FC owner and a lot of other famous dudes died because of that in the past decades. Helis seem to be the biggest danger to the rich it seems.

  16. I saw the video, it was tragic. They did a free fall. RIP

  17. Traumatic for the emergency services that have to pull 3 dead children from the water.

  18. He was actually the global head of their rail infrastructure business, and the former CEO of Spain.

    Worth adding as well that he was there on holiday and not for any work related to his role.

  19. Flying with a helicopter is a normal tourist attraction in new york. Who knows how many thousend people do that a year. Sure flying vehicles are dangerous things but nobody would assume their own trip goes to hell, even more so when you never hear about such a thing happening. Poor people, even more the children. I just hope this causes safty regulations to become more of a thing again. Their lifes are lost but maybe they can remind people to stay safe and so safe lives of others.

  21. The only way a casual helicopter ride will ever take me out is if it falls on my head.

  23. Why does a newspaper (news portal) censor words like it depends on TikTok algorithm wtf. Somewhere in the middle it says:

    > They were d—d as soon as whatever happened happened

  24. This is similar way we lost Kobe, similar in the sense of heli crash, the video of this one was a damn dive

  25. I hope they didn’t suffer in their last moments. RIP.

  28. 5 innocent people. Those poor kids their mom and the pilot. RIP.

  29. As an aircraft engineer my policy on helicopters is do not get in one unless you are already in the sea and it is coming to rescue you.

  30. It’s terrible when anyone dies tragically but somehow this is extra sad.

  32. Helicopters are not very safe, I don’t think I would ride in one even if given the option for free

  33. Damn… the kids must have been scared and this thought makes me very sad

  34. It’s really was that woman and her children died

  35. I knew a medical transport helicopter mechanic who said he would never get on a tour helicopter due to poor maintenance and regulations
