Former Chilean President Sebastián Piñera dies in a helicopter crash.

Former Chilean President Sebastián Piñera has died in a helicopter crash at the age of 74. Piñera served two non-consecutive terms as president, leading Chile through significant natural disasters, including the 2010 earthquake and tsunami. He also oversaw the country's Covid response, with one of the world's fastest vaccination rates during his presidency. However, his legacy is marred by violent police repression in 2019 against protesters demonstrating against the country's education, health, and pension systems.
