Condolences poured in Friday for the Barcelona family that perished in a helicopter accident an ocean away, from Spain’s prime minister to the company where the parents worked and the school where their children studied.
The family of five had meant to celebrate one of their children’s birthdays in the United States. Instead, a private helicopter tour of New York city turned tragic when the aircraft broke apart and plunged into the Hudson River. The pilot also died, bringing the death toll to six.
