The maritime rescue service has issued a complain, because ATC's initial distress call was 112 (911). According to them, this meant an important delay in reaction time. I think they have a point there...

The wreckage has been located in 94m deep waters and the radio controlled sub was expected to arrive at 1000UTC.

Edit: It was only a matter of time, but Spanish news are already comparing this crash to the one of a S61 in 2006 ( http://www.pprune.org/rotorheads/233...y-islands.html ).
