Coast Guard Helicopter Crash Investigation

A Coast Guard MH-60 Jayhawk crashed during a training exercise on Harbor Mountain near Sitka, injuring four crew members who were quickly released from the hospital. Investigators face steep, wooded terrain, prompting the U.S. Forest Service to close the area and Sitka Fire to assist with rope teams for safe access. Recovery and investigation could take weeks, with officials urging locals to stay clear for safety. No timeline is set, but gratitude is expressed for local responders’ critical support—reminding us that even routine flights can go sideways, and patience is key as the Coast Guard works to fully understand what happened.
