A safari helicopter crash in northern Kenya kills all seven people on board, including five Americans, local officials and the US State Department say. The crash happens on Wednesday morning in a remote area, with the victims identified across multiple outlets as foreign nationals and senior officials.
Reported identities include Ecuador’s national intelligence chief, Michele Sensi-Contugi, and a Telemundo executive, a US-based Spanish-language network owned by NBCUniversal. Al Jazeera also reports the presence of other mostly foreign tourists among the dead, while some outlets focus more on the Americans and international figures involved. RTE and other reports describe the incident as an international tragedy, without differing on the number of fatalities.
Authorities confirm no survivors from the onboard group. The helicopter is described as carrying tourists, and the precise circumstances of the crash are not detailed in the provided reports.
