Rescue operation underway for missing South Korean maritime helicopter | AHN#
South Korean police on Wednesday began a rescue operation for a maritime police helicopter that went missing off the southern island of Jeju.
The Aw-139 chopper, which was carrying five persons, including four crewmembers, lost contact with the command center at around 20:40 local time after picking up a policewoman from a maritime patrol boat.
The helicopter was on a medical evacuation mission at the time of the incidence, according to the Jeju maritime police. Italy's AgustaWestland manufactured the chopper and it was deployed on the island earlier this week.
