Bodies found after Shetland chopper crash

Three bodies have been found after a helicopter carrying 18 people ditched in the North Sea off the Shetland islands following an apparent “catastrophic loss of power”.

The Super Puma L2 aircraft went down at 6.20pm last night, around two miles west of Sumburgh airport on Shetland as it was returning to the island from the Borgsten Dolphin platform in the North Sea.
