Helicopter wreckage nowhere to be found
Efforts to recover a helicopter that crashed into Roosevelt Lake Dec. 7 have ended after multiple failed dives. Gila County Sheriff’s Office dive teams scoured the bottom of the lake for more than a week, but found no sign of the 1,500-pound helicopter, which splashed into the lake during a sightseeing flight out of Mesa.
Search for wrecked helicopter ends
Efforts to recover a helicopter that crashed into Roosevelt Lake Dec. 7 have ended after multiple failed dives. Gila County Sheriff’s Office dive teams scoured the bottom of the lake for more than a week, but found no sign of the 1,500-pound copter, which splashed into the lake during a sightseeing flight out of Mesa. All on board survived with non-life threatening injuries, but the helicopter appears to have broken up, scattering wreckage through the lake.
County ambles to rescue
Eviction deadlines looming, the county is stepping up to help save the Roosevelt Lakeview Park.
