A top executive at global technology company Siemens and his wife and kids were identified as five of the victims who were k!lled on the ill-fated helicopter that plunged into the Hudson River Thursday, April 10, according to law enforcement sources.

Agustin Escobar, the Global CEO of Rail Infrastructure at Siemens Mobility, his wife and their three children were killed along with an unidentified pilot when the tourist chopper they were all on plunged into the murky waters.

Gut-wrenching photos on New York Helicopter Tours website show the bundled up five family members smiling in front of the Bell 206L-4 LongRanger IV helicopter and strapped inside the aircraft.

Escobar’s spouse was identified as Merce Camprubi Montal, who was a global manager at an energy technology company, according to a person briefed on the investigation.

She worked in Barcelona as a global commercialization manager for energy technology company Siemens Energy for seven years, according to her LinkedIn profile.

The three children all appear to be in middle school or younger.

“No matter how hard things got, he always stayed calm and kept it together. He had this way of making things feel OK, even when they weren’t,” Juan Ignacio Diaz, who used to work with Escobar, told The Post Thursday night.

“And he never forgot what mattered most — his family.”

His business acumen was only exceeded by the relationships he had with his family and friends, his friend Diaz said.

“He was such a great person — kind, steady, and always there when you needed him,” Diaz said.

“He was a loyal friend, someone you could really count on.”

Diaz, who previously worked at Siemens, also called Escobar “a true family man.”

“He loved his wife and kids so much — they were everything to him,” he said.

“He was a loving, fun, and just really cool dad,” Diaz said. “I’m going to miss him and his family.

“I love you my friend.”

The loved ones just got into the Big Apple from Barcelona earlier in the day, law enforcement sources said.

The cause of the crash was unclear with an investigation underway.
