Three people have been killed and two others injured after a helicopter crashed off the coast of Kauai in Hawaii.
The aircraft, carrying five people, went down near the scenic Na Pali Coast, a popular tourist destination known for its rugged cliffs and coastline. Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, rescuing the two survivors and transporting them for medical treatment. Authorities said the cause of the crash is still under investigation. Initial reports suggest the helicopter went down in waters off Kalalau Beach, though further details remain unclear.
The victims have not yet been publicly identified. Officials are working to notify families as recovery operations continue. Helicopter tours are a common way for visitors to explore Hawaii’s landscapes, but accidents, while rare, have raised concerns about safety in challenging weather and terrain conditions.
