Score Two More For The Coast Guard's 'Good Guys'

Medevacs 2 From Helicopter Crash

The Coast Guard medevaced two people after their helicopter went down in the Gulf of Mexico, 85 miles southeast of Galveston, Texas, at 2 a.m. Sunday.

A Coast Guard helicopter crew from Air Station Houston took the men to Scholes Field in Galveston where an ambulance was waiting to take them to the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. The men were in stable condition.

The tanker Shaula Star called Coast Guard watchstanders at 2:20 this morning saying they had lost communications with a Bell 222B helicopter that was five minutes away. They were en route from Houston Hobby airport to pickup two passengers from the Shaula Star.

A nearby offshore supply boat crew, the Abdon Callais, watched the helicopter go down. They were able to find the two men in the water and rescue them. They transferred the men to the Shaula Star where the Coast Guard crew airlifted them.

The cause of the accident is under investigation.
