Dva helikoptera japanske mornarice srušila su se u more tijekom vježbi, pri čemu je poginuo najmanje jedan od osam članova posade, rekao je ministar obrane te zemlje Minoru Kihara.
Dva patrolna helikoptera SH-60 izvodila su jučer navečer vježbe u blizini skupine otoka Izu, kod južne obale središnjeg Japana.
Kihara je rekao da je uzrok nesreće pod istragom. Crne kutije iz obje letjelice otkrivene su u neposrednoj blizini jedna druge i velika je vjerojatnost da su se dva helikoptera sudarila, dodao je. Japanska pomorska samoobrana (MSDF) i obalna straža tragaju za preostalih sedam članova posade.
Japanese Defense Minister Kihara revealed that the two flight recorders of two crashed JMSDF SH60 helicopters have been found in the close proximity and recovered.
He also said, "We judge that there is a high possibility that they collided."

The U.S. Government has offered assistance in the search and rescue of the two Japan Maritime Self Defense Forces helicopters that crashed near Torishima earlier this morning. We will stand together, side by side, with our friend and ally, Japan. My thoughts are with the crew…
