All rescued safely after helicopter ditches in North Sea
The first passengers rescued from a helicopter that ditched in the North Sea yesterday reached hospital within a couple of hours.
Altogether 14 people – 12 passengers and two crew – were on board the aircraft when it came down 25 miles (40km) off the coast of Aberdeen shortly after midday.
The EC225 helicopter, operated by Bond Offshore, had been on its way from Aberdeen to the offshore Maersk Resilient rig and the Ensco 102 rig.
