Medivac crash Catalina island

[BrendAn]

I don't know if it made the news at home but last week a medivac chopper crashed into the ocean and 3 lives were lost shortly after takeoff at Catalina island ,California.

On the news tonight it was revealed another medivac left the same helipad minutes before and dropped 75 ft , that one submerged the skids and hit the belly on the water before the pilot regained control and flew safely back to la.

Investigators are saying both pilots were using night vision goggles but the night was too dark for them to work effectively causing both pilots to lose sight of the horizon and get disoriented.
