Agustín Escobar, a Siemens executive from Spain, was on a family sightseeing trip in New York City when their helicopter tragically crashed into the Hudson River on Thursday afternoon.

Witnesses reported hearing a loud noise before seeing the helicopter plummet from the sky. Video footage captured the aircraft spiraling uncontrollably and crashing into the water at high speed, sending debris flying.

The helicopter, a Bell 206 operated by New York Helicopter, had taken off from Downtown Manhattan Heliport and was circling the city before the fatal plunge.

April 12, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Ahead of Stoke City’s crucial match against Cardiff City, Mark Robins expressed optimism despite the challenges his team faces. With only five matches remaining in the Championship season, Stoke are sitting just two points above the relegation zone, making the Cardiff clash a potentially season-defining encounter. Robins remains positive after an unbeaten run since the international break, with a win over QPR and draws against Preston North End and Luton Town. “Those performances are the things that start to pick up points,” Robins said, emphasizing that Stoke are building momentum.

While the late equalizer conceded to Luton could have been a morale blow, Robins remains focused on the task ahead. “For us it’s all to play for,” he said, highlighting the opportunities still available for his side to survive. With key players like Josh Wilson-Esbrand nearing a return, Stoke’s injury issues seem to be easing, which could prove vital in the final stretch of the season. Robins also praised the unwavering support from Stoke’s fans, with over 1,600 supporters making the long trip to Cardiff. “They’ve been vocal in a really positive way,” Robins added, acknowledging the vital role the fans play as the team battles to retain their Championship status.

Mystery Moves in Motion: Dolphins Host Johnson and Harmon Ahead of 2025 NFL Draft Shake-Up

April 12, 2025 RAYMOND 0

The Miami Dolphins are actively scouting tight end prospects for the 2025 NFL Draft, eyeing potential players who could be available with their second-round pick. Among the key prospects is Mason Taylor from LSU, the son of Dolphins legend Jason Taylor. Projected as a late first-round or early second-round pick, Taylor recently visited Miami, following meetings with the Browns, Seahawks, and Chargers. Additionally, the Dolphins hosted local talent Elijah Arroyo from the University of Miami, who impressed during his breakout season with the Hurricanes and at the Senior Bowl. With tight end Jonnu Smith’s contract expiring after this season, Miami could be looking to the future, with either Taylor or Arroyo potentially filling the TE2 role or becoming a long-term solution.

Meanwhile, running back Kaleb Johnson has been making waves in draft circles, visiting multiple teams including the Steelers, Titans, Broncos, Texans, and Bengals. Considered the third-best running back prospect in the class, Johnson is expected to be taken in the early to mid-second round. Additionally, defensive tackle Derrick Harmon from Oregon has been drawing attention, with visits to the Jets, Browns, and Steelers, and could be a late-first or early-second round selection depending on team needs.

Snarling Ex-Owl Returns: Sheffield Wednesday on Edge Over Familiar but Ferocious Threat

April 12, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Sheffield Wednesday prepare to welcome relegation-threatened Oxford United to Hillsborough this afternoon, aiming to claim their first home win since New Year’s Day. While the Owls have steadied their season and face no immediate danger, the same cannot be said for Oxford, who are fighting to avoid the drop after a tough campaign on the road.

All eyes will be on the midfield battle, where former Wednesday favourite Will Vaulks is expected to play a key role for the visitors. Now a driving force under new Oxford boss Gary Rowett, Vaulks brings both experience and emotion into the clash—qualities that Owls manager Danny Röhl is keenly aware of. Yet, Röhl insists the focus remains on his own team’s performance: “We play at home, and I want us to control the game, dictate the rhythm, and show our quality. If we do the basics right, we have what it takes to win.”

As Southampton prepare for a fresh campaign in the Championship, they could soon come face to face with a familiar name—both on the pitch and in the dugout.

Transfer expert Graeme Bailey revealed that Still had agreed to join Sunderland last summer and was even house-hunting before the deal collapsed over staff-related issues. Now, with the Saints seeking a new manager to lead their promotion push, Still—alongside fellow former Sunderland target Liam Rosenior—has emerged as a serious contender.
