So, like, imagine this tragic event, right? Five members of a family from Spain and their pilot died when their helicopter, like, crashed into the Hudson River. It was supposed to be a fun trip to celebrate their kid’s birthday, but, like, ended in a tragedy. The funeral went down on Tuesday, where family and friends gathered to pay their respects.
So, like, at the funeral, there were hundreds of people in this church in Barcelona, you know? They were mourning the Spanish family that died in the helicopter crash in NYC. The family was laid to rest in Spain, and, man, it was a sad scene. The church bells were ringing, and everyone was crying, remembering Agustín Escobar, Mercè Camprubí Montal, and their three kids who died in the crash.
The woman’s father, Joan Camprubí, was, like, feeling the pain for the past 11 days, you know? He thanked everyone who showed up, including, like, important people from Catalonia and Barcelona. He shared memories of his daughter, son-in-law, and grandkids, and even talked about the Pope’s belief in the power of a smile and a sense of humor.
The family was on this trip to celebrate their middle kid’s ninth birthday, and it turned into their last moments together. Before the helicopter took off, there was this photo of Agustín Escobar giving a thumbs-up, while his fam was all smiles. Even though it was super tragic, their relatives talked about how much joy the family brought them and how much they loved life.
Agustín was a big shot at Siemens Mobility, and Mercè worked for Siemens Energy. Their kids were 10, 9, and 4, and their grandpa was a former president of the Barcelona FC soccer club. The service ended with photos of the family during happier times, and they played Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York.” It was a real tearjerker, man.
