4 Killed in Navy Helicopter Crash
A Navy helicopter crashed into the Atlantic Ocean just off the coast Monday, killing all four people aboard, the Navy said.
Their bodies were recovered by divers who found the fuselage of the SH-2 Sea Sprite helicopter, a Navy spokesman said.
The downed helicopter was one of three en route from the Atlantic Underwater Test and Evaluation Center on Andros Island in the Bahamas to its home base at Willow Grove, Pa., said Veronica Schauer, a Navy spokeswoman at Jacksonville Naval Air Station.
The cause of the crash was under investigation.
