A devastating helicopter crash in Kenya’s rugged Samburu foothills claimed seven lives, including Roger Duarte — a 42-year-old Miami seafood mogul and Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree — who was en route to a safari with five other tourists and a Kenyan pilot. Duarte, once an investment banker turned food entrepreneur, built a thriving stone crab business from the Florida Keys and was remembered as a visionary father and bold innovator. The Eurocopter EC130 B4, operated by Lady Lori Helicopters, went down at 9:15 AM, sparking urgent rescue efforts and raising critical questions about aviation safety in Kenya’s booming tourism sector. Among the victims was José Suárez, a respected TV executive, leaving families shattered and a nation mourning a bright, untimely loss.
