ST. JOHN’S, Newfoundland – A helicopter carrying 18 people on its way Thursday to an offshore oil platform ditched in the Atlantic Ocean off Newfoundland, officials said.
Two people have been spotted in the water, as well as a life-raft, but there’s no sign of the helicopter, said Jeri Grychowski of the Rescue Coordination Centre in Halifax.
Winds are fairly strong in the area with six- to nine-foot waves, Grychowski said.
A mayday call was issued just before 8:00 a.m.
