Over the Kenyan landscape on a Wednesday, seven lives ended when a safari helicopter fell from the sky — among them Americans, a South Florida media leader, and an intelligence official from Ecuador. The crash reminds us how swiftly the ordinary act of witnessing beauty from above can become irreversible, and how a single moment of catastrophe can reach across continents, professions, and families simultaneously. José Suárez, 49, who gave voice to South Florida's Spanish-speaking communities through Telemundo 31, was among those who did not return.
