From the Feb. 19, 2016, Navy Times.
A private helicopter giving Pearl Harbor tours crashed with five aboard, including a teenager, crashed at 10:30 a.m. local time near the Ford Island Bridge and the National Park Pearl Harbor visitor center. Sad to find out yesterday that the teenager died, but the other four are alright.
This is the second mishap within a year in the area. In 2015, the hospital ship mercy struck the USS Arizona memorial's dock, causing it to be closed for over a week.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
