On Thursday, three persons died — and another two remain missing — after a helicopter ferrying workers to an offshore oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico crashed into the Gulf waters. The company which leased the helicopter reported that the helicopter was missing Thursday morning, and the Coast Guard later found three bodies and debris. The accident occurred near land — only about two miles from the coast of Sabine Pass. The helicopter’s destination was an oil drilling platform about 18 miles off the coast. The Coast Guard sent search boats and a rescue helicopter to look for survivors. |
Again, a helicopter accident has taken a terrible toll — for the third time recently in the Houston area.
