Seven Killed in Kenya Safari Helicopter Crash

A luxury safari helicopter crashed in a remote part of northern Kenya on Wednesday morning with no survivors, killing all seven people on board.

Among those killed were Ecuador's director of national intelligence, Michele Sensi-Contugi, his wife Stephany Hollihan, and NBCUniversal journalist José Alberto Suárez, a Florida-based Telemundo executive.
