SAN DIEGO—A brief Navy narrative of a fatal helicopter crash off Southern California says the aircraft experienced “side-to-side” vibrations that caused the main rotor to hit the deck of an aircraft carrier while landing, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
The MH-60S Seahawk fell off the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln on Aug. 31. One crew member was rescued and five were declared dead after a search. Five sailors on the carrier deck were injured.
