Rotor, Fueselage and some components recovered

A media quote,

Meanwhile, a chopper in the Cougar fleet has been flown in from the Gulf of Mexico. The S-61 is now on standby in St.John's for med-evac and search and rescue.

The Atlantic Osprey, the offshore vessel involved in the recovery of the downed Cougar helicopter , is going back out to sea. The vessel came into port yesterday with the main components, including the fuselage and rotor. The Osprey left port this morning and is tracking towards the crash site. The TSB's investigator in charge, Mike Cunningham, has said that the wreckage is in hundreds of pieces. The black box and the cockpit voice recorder were recovered earlier and shipped to Ottawa for analysis.
