The Spanish CEO of one of the world’s biggest tech companies, his wife and three young children died Thursday in a helicopter crash off Manhattan.

Agustin Escobar, his wife Merce Camprubi Montal, and their children aged 4, 5, and 11 all died when their tourist flight to see New York City plunged into the Hudson River. The 36-year-old pilot, who has not been named, was also killed.

Escobar was the CEO of European tech giant Siemens’ operations in Spain.

3. I have a "funny" story:

My wife and I were in New York to see George Clooney in his play a couple weeks ago, and as we were leaving, she noticed all these helicopters buzzing over the city. She said that it was amazing that they don’t crash into each other and I said that these pilots were pros and I could not recall the last time since I was a kid that one of these helicopters went down in the city or into the river.

So what do I know…?
