Jewish businessman Moises Saba was killed last night in a helicopter crash outside Mexico City. Four other people were reportedly killed in the crash, two of them members of Saba’s family, including his son.
Saba, 47, owned real estate companies, medical companies and a communications network, including the Mexican TV Azteca network, the Unefon phone company and two hotels in Acapulco.
Mexican authorities assessed that the crash occurred because of the heavy fog where the helicopter was flying.
The helicopter went down in a forested area in Cuajimalpa on the western outskirts of the capital shortly after 8 p.m. last night.
Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard has visited the site of the crash in Cuajimalpa and expressed condolences to the Saba family.

Baruch Dayan Haeemet! What a terrible tragedy!
May H’KBH give much nemchama to their family in their hour of need.
This man was big baal Tzedakah. He did donated most of Maran Hacham Ovadia Yosef’s sefarim, ambulances, yeshivot. His son goes to the Mir Yerushalayim, and other son to Yechave Da’at (R’ Yitzchak Yosef’s yeshiva)- What a tragedy for Klal Yisrael!
1) Was he Shomer Shabbos?
2) Was he a Baal Tzedaka?
ycbmhe, of course he was.
