One person was killed and two others are missing after a tour helicopter – popular among tourists in Hawaii – crashed off the coast of Kauai, officials said. The crash happened around 1:20 p.m. Thursday near the Hanakoa Valley along the Na Pali Coast, according to a news release from the Kaua‘i Police Department. Police were alerted to the crash by hikers who reported seeing the helicopter go into the water, the release said. One person was found dead around 2:25 p.m., police said. A multiagency search was still underway Friday for the two people who are missing. The pilot of the helicopter was local and the two passengers are believed to be “visitors from the mainland,” Kaua’i Police Chief Todd Raybuck said. County search and rescue crews resumed search efforts Friday after pausing at sundown Thursday, while the US Coast Guard continued searching throughout the evening, police said.
