Five US Marines who were aboard a helicopter that crashed in California on Wednesday were killed. This was reported by the WSJ, according to UNN.
Details
The helicopter was found Wednesday morning in Pine Valley, about 40 miles east of San Diego, after it disappeared during a routine training flight a day earlier.
The helicopter took off from Creech Air Force Base near Las Vegas on Tuesday and was reported missing when it failed to land on schedule at Miramar Airfield in San Diego the same day.
The Marines began searching along with the San Diego County Sheriff's Department, the Civil Air Patrol, and the U.S. Air Force Civil Support Unit.
In a statement on Thursday, Maj. Gen. Michael Borgschulte of the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing confirmed that all Marines on board were killed.
