Authorities in Honolulu, Hawaii, say one person is in critical condition after a civilian helicopter made a hard landing in the water near Pearl Harbor.
The Coast Guard said five people were aboard the helicopter Thursday. Coast Guard Petty Officer Melissa McKenzie says it was civilian helicopter, "possibly a news chopper."
McKenzie says all five people were transferred to land after the hard landing, which occurred near the Arizona Memorial, a popular tourist destination in Oahu.
According to KHON, witnesses said the helicopter came to rest upside-down. Bystanders reportedly dove into the water to free passengers from the wreckage.

The Coast Guard received notification of the accident at 10:25 a.m. local time.
The FAA said that the helicopter involved is a Bell 206 helicopter.
Tours in the vicinity have been cancelled.
