Five US Marines have been confirmed dead after a helicopter crash in California on Wednesday.

Key Details: The crew was found Thursday morning. They had been on a routine training flight from Nevada to California that was reported overdue on Tuesday in San Diego.

Key Quote: "It is with a heavy heart and profound sadness that I share the loss of five outstanding Marines from the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing and the 'Flying Tigers' while conducting a training flight last night," Major General Borgschulte, Commanding General for the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, said in a statement.

For Context: The CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter was located Wednesday morning about 50 miles from the air station in San Diego by first responders. Search and rescue operations were then underway to locate the five marines on board the helicopter. The crash comes about two months after an Air Force aircraft crashed off the coast of Japan.

How the Media Covered it: Some sources on the left noted that an investigation into the crash is underway. Some sources on the right noted that initial efforts to begin searching for the aircraft had been delayed due to an "atmospheric storm" hitting the area.

The five Marines aboard a helicopter that crashed in California earlier this week were confirmed dead on Thursday.

Driving the news: The helicopter, on a routine training flight from Nevada to California, was reported overdue on Tuesday after not arriving in San Diego as scheduled.

The helicopter was located Wednesday morning in Pine Valley, Calif., — about 50 miles from the air station in San Diego. Authorities said search and rescue operations were underway to locate the five Marines on board.

The Marine Corps said Wednesday it is searching for five Marines who were onboard a helicopter that went missing on its way to San Diego a day earlier.

The Marines said civil authorities found the helicopter on Wednesday morning in Pine Valley, California, about 40 miles east of San Diego. It didn’t describe the aircraft’s condition. The helicopter had taken off from Creech Air Force Base outside Las Vegas on Tuesday for a routine training flight.

The five U.S. Marines aboard a helicopter that went missing on a trip from Nevada to California were confirmed dead on Thursday.

First responders found the crashed CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter following hours of searching on Wednesday, but they did not find the crew until Thursday morning.
