HONOLULU (AP) — One person is dead and two are missing in Hawaii after a tour company helicopter crashed off the island of Kauai. The crash is the latest in a series to plague the industry in recent years. Kauai police say hikers reported seeing the helicopter crash into the waters off the Na Pali Coast. The aircraft was part of Ali’i Kauai Air Tours & Charters. One body has recovered, and crews continue to search for the two missing. The National Transportation Safety Board will investigate. One expert says the crash shows how it’s not prudent to fly single-engine helicopters over Hawaii.
