US Navy helicopter crew survives crash into bay in Southern California

A U.S. Navy helicopter crashed into a Southern California bay during a training exercise Thursday night, a spokesperson said. All six crew members survived.

The MH-60R Seahawk crashed in the waters of San Diego Bay shortly after 6:30 p.m., according to a statement from Cmdr. Beth Teach of the Naval Air Force Pacific Fleet.


“Due to the nature of the training, a safety boat was on location,” the statement said, adding that the crew members were taken ashore for medical evaluations.

There wasn’t any immediate word on their conditions but Navy officials weren’t aware of any critical of life-threatening injuries.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Seems to be a lot of these "training" (and other) crashes lately.

Who is at the controls of these aircraft?
