A Coast Guard helicopter which was being ferried to Alaska crashed near La Push, WA. One survivor was pulled from the water by members of the local tribe of Native Americans who live in the area.

Press conference from yesterday:
UNCUT: Coast Guard News Conference - Video - KIRO Seattle (http://www.kirotv.com/video/24175362/index.html - broken link)

Update from today:
KXLH | Helena, Montana - News, Weather, Sports | Great Falls man killed in Coast Guard helicopter crash

Fair winds and following seas for the three lost souls, may they rest in peace.

My prayers go to the three Coast Guard personnel killed, and to their family, friends and fellow Coast Guard members. Don't let these events fade away. They were all helping their country...
