A mechanical failure, not pilot error, caused a Navy helicopter crash that killed five crew members last summer off the coast of San Diego, military officials have concluded.
SAN DIEGO –
“The investigation found that there is no evidence that pilot or air- crew error was a causal factor in the crash,” according to a Navy statement released this week. As the aircraft lurched back and forth, its main rotor struck the deck of the ship, and the impact caused the helicopter to tumble into the sea, tail first.
After more than 72 hours of searching in vain for the missing personnel, the Navy declared them lost at sea. A military search-and-salvage team recovered the helicopter and the remains of the sailors from a depth of about 5,300 feet on Oct. 8.
