According to UPI, CBS News, and Fox News, the extensive 102-hour search covered over 14,000 square miles. The operation involved multiple helicopters, aircraft carriers, guided-missile destroyers, and U.S. Air Force aircraft from Carrier Air Wings 7 and 9.
The missing crewman was aboard an MH-60S Sea Hawk helicopter when it crash landed at about 3:30 a.m. EDT on Wednesday. The other three crewmembers were recovered and listed in stable condition, as reported by all sources. The helicopter was on a routine patrol when it went down.
U.S. officials stated that the helicopter's crash landing was not the result of hostile fire, according to CBS News. The USS George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier, where the helicopter was assigned, remains in the Middle East as part of Operation Epic Fury, a U.S. military campaign launched against Iran at the end of February.
