The U.S. Navy is searching the Arabian Sea for one missing crew member after an MH-60S Sea Hawk helicopter assigned to the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush made an emergency water landing early Wednesday. U.S. 5th Fleet officials said the incident happened around 3:30 a.m. ET with four people aboard; three were recovered and are in stable condition. The Navy has not immediately identified the cause of the emergency landing, and officials cited in reports said there is no indication the helicopter was brought down by hostile action. The search is unfolding in a strategically sensitive region where U.S. naval forces operate under U.S. Naval Forces Central Command.
