Crashed Helicopter Removed from Lake Shastina
A helicopter was dipping into Lake Shastina in order to obtain water to fight the Lava fire when it crashed last week, with the helicopter becoming submerged into the water and the pilot swimming for safety. On July 10, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife pulled the aircraft out of the lake, with minimal fuel discharged and no oiled wildlife observed.
It’s still unclear why the helicopter crashed into Shastina, but officials were quick to the scene to provide assistance for the pilot and attempt to mitigate any environmental impacts on the lake. Recovery efforts found the helicopter located 15 feet below the surface of the water, making its retrieval difficult.
Here’s a video of the aircraft removal from CDFW:
