From Times Wire Reports
The bodies of the final two missing passengers aboard a helicopter that vanished a week ago in the Gulf of Mexico with 10 people aboard have been recovered, authorities said.
The bodies of Jason Petitjean, 34, of Rayne, La., and Jeff Langley, 42, of Kountze, Texas, were recovered from the Gulf’s floor.
“It’s a sad relief would be the way to put it,” said a spokeswoman for Unocal, the California-based oil company that chartered the helicopter. The cause of the crash is under investigation.
