2 bodies lifted from sea after Japan Army helicopter crash
Japan’s military recovered two bodies of the 10 crew members on an army helicopter that sunk to the bottom of the sea after presumably crashing off a southern Japanese island 11 days ago.
On Monday, the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force confirmed the deaths of two male crew members recovered by special divers from the 100-meter (330-foot) -deep seabed where they were found with the wreckage and three other crew members. The other five crew members on board at the time of the crash are still missing.
The UH-60JA Black Hawk helicopter disappeared on April 6 soon after taking off from an Army base on Miyako Island for a reconnaissance mission in Japan’s southern islands.
