Washington - Rescuers pulled two bodies from the Gulf of Mexico after a US navy helicopter with a crew of six aboard crashed off the coast of Texas, a navy spokesperson said yesterday. Two of the helicopter's crew members were still missing, but two were found on a raft and rescued, Lieut Commander Dawn Cutler of the US navy reported.
The helicopter and its crew "were on a training mission when they went down", she said. It is "too early to tell" why the helicopter crashed.
