A helicopter crashed in Hawaii on Tuesday morning, killing four people, the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF) confirmed. There were no survivors of the crash, and the victims identities have not been released.
The helicopter was operated by Croman Corporation, a contractor that "provides range support services to PMRF," the facility said in a statement. The helicopter was supporting a "range training operation" when it crashed north of the missile facility, located near Kekaha on the island of Kauai, just after 10 a.m. local time.
The National Transportation Safety Board identified the helicopter as a Sikorsky S-61N.
