Two survive north Qld helicopter crash
Two people have been rescued after a helicopter ditched into the ocean off Mackay in north Queensland.
They ejected to safety before the helicopter ditched into the sea earlier this afternoon.
Authorities picked up a mayday signal this afternoon, sparking an air-and-sea search about 100 kilometres offshore.
The two were winched to safety from a life raft before being taken to Hamilton Island for medical treatment.
It is believed they are suffering only minor injuries and that the helicopter may have had engine problems.
