SAN DIEGO (AP) - A team of Navy deep-sea divers using an unmanned underwater vehicle has recovered the wreckage of a helicopter that crashed during a training exercise off the California coast last month, killing its four-man crew.
The chopper, which sank 3,600 feet in waters about 50 miles offshore, was raised Wednesday using a remote-controlled robot, Navy spokesman Landon Hutchens said. The bodies of three crew members were brought to the surface last week; the fourth died after being pulled alive from the water after the Jan. 28 crash.
The MH-60S helicopter, based at Naval Air Station North Island in Coronado, was on a training mission off the USS Bonhomme Richard when it went down.
