The chopper reportedly broke apart mid-flight and nosedived into the river, killing four passengers instantly, with the remaining two dying from their injuries soon after. Investigations are ongoing to determine the cause of the mechanical failure. Escobar, recently appointed Global CEO of Rail Infrastructure at Siemens Mobility,
was widely respected for his international leadership and dedication to both his work and family. His wife held a senior role at Siemens Energy, and their three children were described as cheerful and close-knit. The tragedy has drawn international sympathy, including heartfelt condolences from Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, as colleagues and friends around the world mourn the loss of a remarkable family.
