Coast Guard Tragedy: Major operation to locate Rescue 116 wreckage
A team from the Irish Air Accident Investigation Unit (AAIU) will use special equipment to scour the Atlantic seabed for the Irish Coast Guard’s Dublin-based Sikorsky S92, which went down without warning off Blacksod around 12.45am yesterday.
The AAIU hope their scanning equipment will locate the aircraft wreckage, which is believed to be lying in about 40m of water, and hone in on the signal from its black-box.
