Tourist helicopter crashes off island of Kauai
HONOLULU (AP) — Two people are missing and another is dead after a tour company helicopter crashed off the Hawaiian island of Kauai. Thursday’s crash is the latest in a series to plague the industry in recent years. Kauai police say hikers reported seeing the helicopter crash into the waters off the Na Pali Coast. The helicopter was part of Ali’i Kauai Air Tours & Charters. One person’s body was recovered, but crews continue to search for two people. The National Transportation Safety Board will investigate. One expert says the crash shows how it’s not prudent to fly single-engine helicopters over Hawaii.
