SoCal Bound Military Helicopter, 5 Marines Missing: Report
2024-02-07
[Patch] Pray for them. The weather is sucky right now. La Casa G is under their flight pattern to Miramar
The CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter was en route to Miramar in the San Diego area

Search and rescue crews are looking for a San Diego-bound military helicopter carrying five Marines that went missing Tuesday night, according to ABC News.

The CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter left Creech Air Force Base near Las Vegas and was en route to the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in the San Diego area before being "reported overdue," the report said, citing the Marines.

San Diego Sheriff's Department and Cal Fire have joined in the search Wednesday.

#5  Vegas guy here. We had that atmospheric river from here to San Diego. Most continuous rain since I got here in 2009. I understand "can do" and all-weather etc. but someone in command should show prudence.

#4  Guess they could've been thrown out and separated. I withdraw my previous.

#3  Marines can't communicate with their base? Not even cell phones? They obviously weren't killed in the crash.
