Tragedy

.
Three of four crew members who were aboard a Coast Guard helicopter that crashed Wednesday morning near Seattle are dead.
.
The chopper crashed near James Island, off the Washington coast. The announcement was made by a Seattle Coast Guard spokesman from District 13 at an afternoon news conference. With wavering voice he said they are currently in the recovery phase and once completed, the aircraft will be salvaged from the water.*

One of the victims was a classmate of mine in high school...a wonderful man. A husband, father to three and a great friend. Very sad news indeed...
