The brother of Mercè Camprubí Montal, a victim of the tragic Hudson River helicopter crash, visited the site of the accident to pay his respects. Joan Camprubí Montal expressed his sorrow and vowed to always remember his family members.

Speaking in his native Spanish, he honored all five of them, saying, “We will never forget you. We will cherish your memory every day, and I believe that is the greatest tribute we can offer you.”

Camprubí Montal, who traveled from Spain to New York City, addressed the press after meeting with Mayor Eric Adams and placing flowers at the Jersey City location where the family and the pilot lost their lives.

“This is a really difficult situation but we are overwhelmed by the massive condolences we’ve received,” Camprubí Montal added. “I want to say they left together, they left without suffering, and they left with a smile on their faces, and that is important to us.”

Adams called Thursday’s fatal helicopter crash an “unspeakable” tragedy.

Killed in the Thursday crash were Mercè Camprubí Montal, her husband, Agustin Escobar, and their three children — Augustin, 10, Mercedes, 8, and Victor, 4.

Chopper pilot and Navy veteran Sean Johnson, 36, was also killed.
