"All feared dead after helicopter with 14 aboard crashes in the sea off Estonian coast
A helicopter belonging to the Copterlines operator has gone down in the sea close to the island of Naissaar, some five kilometres from Tallinn, the Estonian capital. The helicopter was carrying 12 passengers and a crew of two. According to the Finnish Foreign Ministry, six Finns are among the passengers, together with four Estonians and two U.S. citizens. The crew members are also Finnish. No details have yet come in on casualties, but it must be feared that all have perished. "
A witness from the coast heard two loud bangs before the helicopter went down...I wonder if those were explosions?
So far it's still not known whether it's because of weather, malfunction or an act of terror. The wind was not that bad though...
