The helicopter pilot, which descended on the Hudson River in New York City on Thursday, was a former Navy seal who dreamed of flying… so his wife says about 24 hours after crashing.
Catherine Johnson confirmed to Gossa Mist that her husband, Ceanke Johnson, who had gone by Sean’s side, had been flying a Bell 206 helicopter when the rotor blades flew out, and spun them from the sky… crashed into the water below, killing all six of them.

Sean recently moved to New York City to continue his pilot career…and Kathryn says she’s speechless about the crash — adding that it’s a very difficult time for her.
She and Sean have been apart for several months, but Kathryn says the two last spoke on Wednesday – just a day before the helicopter got off.

As you know… multiple angles indicating crashes have come out since crashes – they appear in the air with the blade of the helicopter’s separation, indicating that they send the ship to the tail spin.
The helicopter turned around to refuel before the crash, but the reason for the tragedy is still under investigation.
The executive Agustin Escobar of tech company Siemens, his wife Merz Campulvi Montal and their three young children were also killed in the crash. The family had visited from Spain.
