Military helicopter crashes in northwest Florida, 11 missing...

Eleven members of the U.S. military were missing after an Army UH-60 Black Hawk crashed during a training mission in the Florida Panhandle Tuesday night, a spokesman at Eglin Air Force Base said.

"Debris from the aircraft was located by search and rescue team at about 2 a.m. this morning," a military statement said. "Search and rescue efforts are underway at the accident site currently."

Four aircrew and seven marines assigned to Camp LaJeune, North Carolina, were on board the helicopter when it went down.


A second Black Hawk on the training mission returned to the base.

A dense fog advisory was in place for the region, reducing visibility in some areas to less than quarter of a mile.
