Tourist Helicopter Crashes in Hawaii

Five people are lucky to be alive after the helicopter they were flying in crashed into Pearl Harbor on Thursday. 

At least three people were hurt in the crash. 

Officials say a 16-year-old boy is in critical condition following the hard landing. 

A 45-year-old woman and a 50-year-old man were taken to the hospital in stable condition.  It’s unclear the condition of the other two, including the pilot. 

An eyewitness said she saw dark smoke coming out of the back of the helicopter and it was shaking before the crash.  Another witness said they heard a couple of loud bangs  before realizing the chopper plunged into the water. 

The U.S. Navy says visits to the nearby USS Arizona memorial are suspended until further notice. 

The cause of the crash remains under investigation. 

Federal investigators are on scene of the accident.
