This broke in overnight cycles Two Japanese military helicopters crashed into the Pacific Ocean late on Saturday, with one crew member confirmed dead and seven others still missing. The two helicopters were conducting training "to counter submarines at night" when the incident occurred, said Defense Minister Minoru Kihara. What do we know about the crash? The helicopters were training off the Izu Islands when communication was lost with them. Rescuers "spotted what are believed to be part of the aircraft in the sea, and we believe that the two helicopters crashed," Kihara said. He added that the flight recorders were retrieved and the ministry was analyzing the cause of the incident, "including possibility of a collision between the two." www.dw.com/en/japan-1-dead-7-missing-in-military-helicopter-crash/a-68880524
