The identity of the pilot involved in the tragic crash of a helicopter into New York City’s Hudson River last Thursday (April 10) has been revealed.
36-year-old Sean Johnson—a Navy SEAL veteran and celebrity bodyguard—was taking Agustín Escobar, the president of Siemens Spain, along with his wife and their three children on a sightseeing trip when the incident occurred.
Preliminary findings suggest a catastrophic mechanical failure, possibly involving the main or tail rotor, leading to the midair breakup of the Bell 206L-4 helicopter and ending the lives of everyone aboard.
