Honolulu : A tour company helicopter crashed off the Hawaiian island of Kauai, police said, killing one person and leaving two missing in the latest in a series of crashes to plague the industry in recent years.
The Robinson R44 helicopter was part of Ali’i Kauai Air Tours & Charters, authorities said.
Kauai lifeguards on personal watercraft recovered one body from the water Thursday. They also saw what appeared to be an oil slick on the water, along with some small pieces of floating debris, Kauai Fire Chief Michael Gibson said.
The U.S. Coast Guard and Kauai crews continued searching Friday for the two people in the water.
