A search is underway for nine people declared missing after a United States Coast Guard plane and a military helicopter crashed off the coast of southern California. The collision is believed to have occurred 27 kilometres east of the U.S. Navy-owned San Clemente Island. A Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) spokesman said a pilot reported seeing a fireball near the area. The plane, a C-130 aircraft, is reported to have had seven people on board. The Marine Corps said the other aircraft was an AH-1 Super Cobra attack helicopter. Coast Guard spokeswoman Allyson Conroy said the crash happened on Thursday at about 1910 local time (0210 GMT, Friday). Corporal Michael Stevens, a spokesman for the Miramar Marine Corps Air Station, said the helicopter and its crew belonged to Marine Aircraft Group 39, stationed at Camp Pendleton and 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, based at Miramar. The plane and its crew belong to Coast Guard Air Station Sacramento. A number of helicopters and navy vessels are being used in the search operation.
