Seven US Marines and four aircrew were missing today after an army helicopter crashed during a training exercise in Florida, the military said.
The UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter was reported missing Tuesday around 8:30 pm (0030 GMT Wednesday) near Eglin Air Force Base while the area was under heavy fog.
Base spokesman Andy Bourland said search and rescue teams located debris from the aircraft around 2:00 am (0600 GMT).
