Five of the victims have been identified as a Spanish family: Siemens executive Agustin Escobar, his wife, Merce Camprubi Montal, and their three young children, The Associated Press reported. The pilot's identity has not been released.

It's gotta be one of these.

Crash photos from a different crash in 2018/19, same area

In March 2018, a helicopter crashed in New York City's East River, causing the death of five passengers onboard, and today, a similar drama played out amidst NYC's skyline. A helicopter, operated by Zip Aviation which works with charter providers such as Blade, an Uber-like company for choppers, crashed into the Hudson River—thankfully with no fatalities.

The main rotor hub is still attached to the mast. The nut is still retaining the hub in place.

Another site said you can see the transmission still attached to the shaft. I assume that is a huge structural failure of the transmission itself or the attachment to the frame.

Those poor people.

And this is exactly why I won't fly in a helicopter that isn't owned and maintained by the military or the government. The amount of maintenance that goes into a helo, I only trust to an organization with unlimited funds and time. The second someone tries to pinch a penny or cut a half a man hour you can count on something bad happening.

In my prior life, we were about to take off on a mission and the pilot looked back at me (he was a buddy) smiled and said over the intercom: "Don't worry boys, there are only 11 thousand parts on this Blackhawk and only ten thousand and fifty of them are critical to us staying in the air." frick him, I am still mad at him for that comment.
