Army Helicopter Crashes in Florida: 7 Marines, 4 Soldiers Missing

11 feared dead in Army helicopter crash in Florida



Seven Marines and four soldiers were missing early Wednesday following an Army helicopter crash in Florida, officials said.

Aircraft debris washed up on shore after one of two UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters participating in a routine nighttime training mission crashed, Eglin Air Force Base spokesman Andy Bourland told NBC News.

Bourland said a search and rescue operation was underway and that it was too soon to say what caused the crash, but there were "weather issues" overnight.

"This is search and rescue," he stressed, adding that visibility was limited due to darkness and fog. "We have not declared the status of the 11 personnel on board at the time."
