Coast Guard C-130 and Marine AH-1W midair collision
Don't know if anybody has seen this but last Thursday night, a Coast Guard C-130 and a Marine AH-1W attack helicopter collided off the coast of California near San Clemente island. The CG C-130 was on a search an rescue case looking for a lost boater. The Marine AH-1W was flying with 3 other Marine helicopters as part of a training exercise.
There were 7 personnel on the C-130 and 2 Marines in the helicopter. So far none of them have been recovered.

The search was suspended as of this morning :

That's been on the news here. God Bless the lost souls. Is there some type of protocol in the C.G. dictating air authority during search and rescue?
