Recovery of crashed Helo in Hawaii.

Remember this a couple of weeks ago? 



Well the recovery effort has been mounted and the helicopter recovered...

Navy sailors from Mobile Diving Salvage Unit 1, Company 15, clear the extraction point in Kaneohe Bay where a CH-53D Sea Stallion is lifting another CH-53D back to Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay on April 8. The halved helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing in the bay March 29 and killed one of the crewmen and injured the other three.

Marines and sailors pull on a cargo strap to swing and align a hoisted section of a CH-53D Sea Stallion helicopter onto an awaiting truck. The halved helicopter was cut to make removal from Kaneohe Bay easier after it was forced to make an emergency landing March 29 which killed one Marine and injured three others and terminally damaged the aircraft.

A CH-53D Seal Stallion helicopter form Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 363 returns half of a sea stallion helicopter to Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay on April 8. Workers cut the helicopter in half after it made an emergency landing in Kaneohe Bay March 29 emergency landing in the bay March 29 and killed one of the crewmen and injured the other three.
