Fox said the crew was rescued injured but alive. Yeah, WWL has a press conference on now that confirms that - cuts and bruises, but thankfully no serious injuries. Also it's civilian, not Coast Guard.

Was it a Dauphin or a SeaHawk?
Dauphins have been having maintenance problems for several years. They weren't designed for the intense usage the USCG puts them to.
