Fox News
The NTSB is not "rul[ing] anything out," including reports of a "large flock of birds" before the fatal Hudson River tour helicopter crash.
New York City Fire Department (FDNY) and NYPD divers entered the water within minutes, pulling the pilot and members of a family visiting from Spain, including Siemens executive Agustin Escobar; his wife, Mercè Camprubí Montal; and their three young children, from the water. All six aboard were pronounced dead. Alexandra Koch is a breaking news writer for Fox News Digital.

Escobar was in the country on a business trip, and his family flew out to extend the vacation in celebration of Montal's 40th birthday, according to a statement from Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop. The children were all under 11 years old.
