11 presumed dead in military helicopter crash

[Johali]

This happened just 25 miles up the beach from me.

NAVARRE BEACH, Fla. — Seven Marines and four crewmembers are missing and presumed deadWednesday after an Army helicopter crashed during a training exercise off the Florida Panhandle.

The area was under a fog advisory when the crash occurred Tuesday night near Eglin Air Force Base about 20 miles east of Pensacola. The extreme fog still present Wednesday morning impeded the search, preventing a Coast Guard helicopter from going airborne until about 1 p.m. CT.
