CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter
No Casualty Report in U.S. Africa Crash
All 12 crew members from two United States military helicopters that crashed off Djibouti on Friday have been accounted for, the military said there on Saturday.
But information on whether the 10 people who were missing overnight had survived or died would not be released until 24 hours after their families had been notified, a military spokeswoman said. Two crew members who were rescued Friday were in stable condition.
"I can't confirm either way," the spokeswoman, Maj. Susan Romano, said of the condition of the 10 crew members accounted for Saturday.
The two Marine helicopters were on a training mission in northern Djibouti at the time of the crash. Each CH53 marine transport helicopter was carrying six crew members.
