Eight Confirmed Dead After Helicopter Crashes Off Coast of Scotland

At least eight people have been confirmed dead and eight more remain missing after the helicopter they were traveling in crashed into the North Sea off Scotland’s Aberdeenshire coast.

The Bond Super Puma was carrying 14 passengers and two crew members when it went down as it was returning from an oil rig northeast of Aberdeen. The Aberdeen Coastguard immediately sent out a search and rescue crew to the area which included a pair of RAF rescue helicopters as well as a Nimrod marine patrol aircraft.

Two life rafts were spotted in the area where the crash occurred but they were overturned. All on board were said to be wearing “proper immersion suits” which would protect them from the cold waters but that may only last a few hours.
