The U.S. Navy said Tuesday four people have died in the crash of a contractor's helicopter on the Hawaii island of Kauai.
The Pacific Missile Range Facility said the aircraft crashed on the north side of the installation shortly after 10 a.m. There were no survivors. The names of those killed were not yet available, it said.
The National Transportation Safety Board said in a tweet the agency is investigating the crash of the Sikorsky S-61N helicopter. The helicopters were optimized for use over water, for example to support oil rig operations. Versions were also used by all branches of the U.S. military. Licensees in the United Kingdom and other countries have also built the aircraft.
