Search Underway for Missing US Marines Helicopter En Route from Nevada to California

A military helicopter carrying five Marines from Las Vegas to San Diego has been reported overdue, prompting a search and rescue operation in a remote, snow-covered area of Southern California. The CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter, assigned to Heavy Helicopter Squadron 361, went missing during its flight, and rescue efforts are being coordinated with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department and the Civil Air Patrol. Adverse weather conditions, including heavy snow and winter conditions, have hampered search efforts, and the outcome of the situation remains uncertain.
