Mayor Adams cut short his trip to the Dominican Republic Saturday and returned to the Big Apple to meet with the family of this week’s tragic helicopter crash in the Hudson River.
The mayor, who ordered flags at City Hall and other city-owned buildings lowered Saturday in response to this week’s tragic roof collapse at a Santo Domingo nightclub that left at least 221 people dead, was also expected to take a boat to the scene of the chopper crash and lay a wreath.
“We stand in solidarity with our Dominican community,” Mayor Adams wrote on X in regard to the decision to recognize the Dominican Republic tragedy by lowering the flags. “We continue to mourn the more than 200 people killed in the tragic roof collapse in the Dominican Republic.”
The flags will remain lowered through the weekend.
