"Heavy fog forced the helicopter to land on a slope during the rescue, and the angle it’s now stuck in makes it unsafe to lift off."


"The helicopter touched down on soft, sloping ground and began to sink in, preventing a safe take off, Coast Guard spokeswoman Loumania Stewart said."

"It was unclear why it couldn't be flown away. Officials said it was not damaged."
(I was going to link that to the recent discussion about slope limits for takeoff, but I couldn't find it)
