The bodies from a fatal helicopter crash last week have been found. The chopper is believed to have crashed into the sea because bad weather conditions and low visibility,… but the exact cause is still under investigation. Connie Kim reports. The bodies of the two missing pilots from last week′s helicopter crash have been found in waters off Korea′s southwestern coast. The Coast Guard confirmed on Friday that the bodies are those of the captains of the ill-fated chopper. The Coast Guard helicopter carrying four people... crashed in waters off Gageodo Island last Friday while trying to land near a seawall. One person is still missing. Last week, the helicopter was on a mission to transport an emergency patient to an inland hospital. This is the same helicopter that was the first to arrive at the Sewol-ho ferry accident last April, saving 12 people. Korea′s Coast Guard and Navy were immediately dispatched to the site but strong waves and heavy fog have been hampering rescue operations for days. Due to the unfavorable weather conditions, it took rescue teams six days to find the fuselage using an underwater camera. Salvage teams recovered the fuselage roughly a kilometer from the port. However, it′s making it difficult for officials to find out what happened in the moments before the accident because the helicopter didn′t have a black box. Authorities say the pilots may have been caught out by a lack of visibility amid foggy conditions. Connie Kim, Arirang News.
