No Survivors In Chopper Mishap

THE wreckage of an Israeli military helicopter that slammed into a mountain in central Romania has been found and none of the seven soldiers aboard - one Romanian and six Israelis - appear to have survived, officials said.

The helicopter, a Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion, crashed on Monday during a military aviation exercise in which crews are trained to fly at low altitudes. The joint exercises, due to end on July 29, were suspended.

Two Israeli CH-53 helicopters had been training in the mountainous area in heavy fog.
