The Army’s 25th Infantry Division issued a news release at 8:38 p.m., saying that search and rescue operations continue for the UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter and its crew, but made no mention of any new findings.
The Coast Guard cutter Ahi, an 87-foot boat, and the 225-foot cutter Walnut continued searching Wednesday night, along with Coast Guard planes, a Coast Guard spokeswoman said. Any debris found overnight by crews of the cutters will be transferred to the smaller Honolulu Fire Department and Coast Guard boats and transported into Haleiwa Small Boat Harbor, said Army Lt. Col. Curt Kellogg, spokesman for the 25th Infantry Division.
The cutters are too large for the harbor, he explained.
