Overview
- A helicopter went down in Biscayne Bay near Nixon Beach and Crandon Boulevard on Wednesday, and the aircraft was found overturned in the water.
- Responders pulled two adult trauma patients from the scene and airlifted them to Jackson Memorial Hospital for treatment.
- Video and on-scene reports showed what appeared to be a third person under a tarp, but officials have not formally confirmed any fatalities.
- Multiple local agencies including Miami‑Dade Fire Rescue, City of Miami Fire Rescue, Key Biscayne Fire Rescue, and MDFR Air Rescue led the search-and-rescue effort.
- Investigators have not released the helicopter’s make, model, registration or a cause, and federal accident statements had not been posted at the time of reporting so more official details could take time to emerge.
