NEW YORK, NY — An Argentine woman and two men from Texas were among the five people killed Sunday after the helicopter they were on crashed into the East River, the NYPD said Monday. Police identified three of the victims as Brian McDaniel and Trevor Cadigan of Texas and Carla Vallejos Blanco of Argentina, an NYPD spokeswoman said.

Cadigan, 26, was a video journalist originally from Dallas working in New York City for the website Business Insider, according to his public LinkedIn profile. McDaniel, 26, was a firefighter with Dallas County Fire & Rescue, the department confirmed.

Blanco, 29, was in New York on vacation from Corrientes, Argentina and did not know anyone else on the helicopter, the General Consulate of Argentina said.

The other two victims have not been identified pending notification of their families, the Police Department spokeswoman said.

Richard Vance, the pilot of the privately chartered helicopter owned by New Jersey-based Liberty Helicopter Tours, was the lone survivor of the Sunday evening crash near the Upper East Side of Manhattan, authorities have said.

Cadigan posted a video to Instagram as the helicopter took off Sunday evening, showing his fellow passengers and the sun setting over a river. The aircraft plunged into the East River around 7 p.m. Sunday, officials said.
