How opposing American parties can benefit from the tragedy

On April 10, CBC News reported a helicopter crash into the Hudson River in Jersey City. The crash occurred at about 15:15 (22:15 Moscow time). Later, the AP news agency, citing officials, announced six deaths as a result of the disaster. The victims were Escobar and his family — his wife and three children. The pilot died with them.

US President Donald Trump called the footage of the helicopter crash into the Hudson River terrifying, noting that details of the incident would be made public.

Aviation lawyer and former helicopter pilot Justin Green suggested on April 11 that the helicopter crash could have been caused by the main rotor, which damaged the tail boom. The expert called the incident a "catastrophic mechanical failure" that left the pilot with no chance to prevent the crash.
