Very sad, 3 die, 3 injured in helicopter crash on Santa Catalina Island
It was very sad and scary to hear about the helicopter crash near Two Harbors on Santa Catalina Island. The crash killed 3 people including the pilot and injured another 3 who are in the hospital. It appears the crash is under investigation, but sounds like it was due to engine failure.
My wife and I flew with this same company, Island Express to Catalina just a few weeks ago for a weekend getaway. It’s very sad and scary for us since we just completed the flight. For all we know it could have been the same helicopter. Our deepest regrets and condolences to the families of the unfortunate.
We are going camping at the Two Harbors campground later this summer. We will be sure to pay our respect when we get there. Friends and family, rest assured we are taking the boat for our next trip over to the island.
