Search and rescue operations are underway after a U.S. Navy helicopter crashed in the ocean off San Diego on Tuesday during a routine flight from an aircraft carrier, military officials said. One crew member has been rescued and five are unaccounted for, Coast Guard Petty Officer Alex Gray told CBS News.
The rescued crew member was transported ashore and was listed in stable condition, the 3rd Fleet said Wednesday. The helicopter was operating on the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln before the crash, and five sailors on the ship also suffered injuries during the incident, the 3rd Fleet said on Facebook. The five injured sailors are also in stable condition, the fleet said. Two of the sailors were taken ashore for treatment, and three stayed on the ship with what the fleet described as "minimal injuries."President Joe Biden said France was America's "first friend" at its founding and is one of its closest allies more than two centuries later as he was honored with a state visit Saturday by French President Emmanuel Macron aimed at showing off their partnership on global security issues and easing past trade tensions.
