Seven Marines and four soldiers were presumed dead on Wednesday after an Army helicopter crashed during a night training exercise in Florida. A UH-60 Black Hawk crashed in the Gulf of Mexico close to Eglin Air Force Base in the Florida Panhandle on Tuesday night. The area was under a fog advisory when the crash took place. Foggy conditions remained on Wednesday morning which was hampering the search, Eglin public affairs specialist Sara Vidoni said.
A military spokesperson told Daily Mail Online that human remains had been found during the search but could not confirm the identities or number of people. Local news station WKRG took pictures of some of the debris that washed up on the shore Wednesday morning, including a detached wheel and the side of the helicopter with the glass on the windows missing.
