stract Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) https://www.google.co...0a4542e971d.421 The HH-60 helicopter had four personnel on board, with three confirmed to be safe, a Japanese defence ministry official said. The fourth crew member was taken to hospital with unknown injuries. edit: I hope this is true. All other news articles, including those from military sources, still say the 4th crew member hasn't yet been located. The fact this dude was also quoted in a different article as saying 3 crew members ejected and were fine now leads me to take anything from his mouth with skepticism, unfortunately.
