Canadians in Pearl Harbor chopper crash, boy gravely hurt

Watch as this helicopter accident happens in a split second. It hardly seems possible that the chopper could fall so quickly. Tourist Shawn Winrich was taking photos of Pearl Harbor when he saw a helicopter “essentially coming straight at us” at the popular Pearl Harbor, Hawaii,  tourist destination. He switched to video, recording the helicopter’s dramatic drop into the water below.

The family of four visiting from Canada and the pilot on board made it out, but one passenger — a 15-year-old boy who was trapped underwater and had to be cut free from his seat — remained hospitalized in critical condition Friday. No identities have been released
