Hilda Hernandez, sister of President Juan Orlando Hernandez, and five other people were killed in a helicopter crash Saturday on a mountain near the Honduran capital. President Hernandez changed his Twitter profile picture to a black ribbon of mourning. He later changed it to his sister. Reynaldo Sanchez, the head of the president's National Party, said in a statement: "Be with God, Hilda Hernandez, a tireless fighter for our party." No cause for the crash was given, but it happened as the country was being affected by a cold front.
