HANALEI, Hawaii (AP) — A helicopter crashed on a remote beach on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, killing three people and injuring two others, authorities reported. The helicopter, which belonged to Airborne Aviation, was carrying one pilot and four passengers when it went down on Thursday afternoon at Kalalau Beach, situated on the Na Pali Coast along Kauai’s north shore. Police confirmed that three individuals lost their lives, while the other two passengers were quickly transported to Wilcox Medical Center for treatment. Helicopter tours have become increasingly popular for exploring the stunning landscapes of cliffs, beaches, and waterfalls that the Na Pali Coast has to offer—areas that are otherwise accessible only by hiking or boating.
