Three rescuers die as helicopter crashes near Marseille
From the BBC website (but I can't post the link).
Three rescue workers on a mission to help people caught in floods in southern France were killed when their helicopter crashed near Marseille.
The EC145 aircraft had been on a rescue and reconnaissance flight in the Var region on Sunday night when contact with it was lost, officials said.
The crashed helicopter and the three crew were found near the town of Rove. An investigation is under way.
