Eye-witnessed helicopter crash today at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii almost over the Arizona Memorial.
A pilot and a family of four were on board a tour helicopter when it crashed off the Arizona Memorial visitors center Thursday, spurring witnesses to jump into the water to bring the five to shore.
A 15-year-old boy was in critical condition following the crash, and was taken to the Pali Momi Medical Center.
Two others on the chopper, a 50-year-old man and a 45-year-old woman, were in stable condition at Pali Momi. The conditions of the two remaining people on board the helicopter were not immediately known, but they were not believed to be critically injured.
Witnesses said the 15-year-old boy was apparently under the water for over a minute and required CPR at the scene.
The Bell-206B chopper was on a sightseeing tour when it crashed in 8-foot-deep waters just offshore. The National Transportation Safety Board says it is investigating.
"It was just crazy, unbelievable," said Daniel Rose, who's visiting from Michigan and saw the helicopter go down.
