Copter Crashes in River; 2 Die (WP)

Authorities continued to search the Potomac River this morning for one of two crew members who died late last night after a medical evacuation helicopter crashed into the Potomac River just south of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge.

Firefighters and police rescued one man from the water and recovered a single body just after the Life Evac helicopter went down shortly after 11 p.m., several hundreds yards off the National Harbor development in Prince George’s County. Life Evac specializes in transporting patients from one medical facility to another.
